Description T h i s command prints a string on line #5 of the front panel display. If xx = 0
or default, the line #5 is entirely used (28 characters max.). If xx = 1 or 2,
the line #5 is split in two fields, each 14 characters long. The first field on
the left is defined as number 1 and the one on the right as number 2.
Writing to field number 1 (xx = 1) erases the previous text from field num-
ber 1. Writing to field number 2 (xx = 2) erases the previous text from field
number 2. If xx = 0 or default, the controller erases the entire line #5 before
writing its new text.
If some strings (separated by spaces) are to be printed, these strings must
be framed by two quotation marks (s). The printable number of characters
is always
N, but the quotation marks are not part of characters of these
strings.
This command is useful for monitoring the status and evolution of a com-
plex program.
Returns N o n e .
