DISPlay
The
DISPlay
command subsystem monitors the state of the selected multiplexer
channel within the scanning multimeter. This command is useful only with
mainframes that have a front panel display, such as the HP 75000 Series B
Mainframe (Model HP E1301A).

Comments
•
Use the channel parameter to specify a single multiplexer channel within the
scanning multimeter. The channel list is of the form
(@ccnn)
, where
cc
= card
number and
nn
= channel number
(105 is channel 05 of card number 1, for example).
•
Use
AUTO
in place of channel to display measurements from the most recent
channel to receive a
CONFigure
or
MEASure
command. The channel number and
measurement are updated as the scan progresses. You may want to add a small
delay to the scan or use a slow, externally paced scan in order to view each
channel from the mainframe’s front panel.

The following example shows the multimeter’s monitor mode display on the HP
E1301A front panel.
