3.15 :DISPlay subsystem
The display subsystem controls the display of the Model 6517A and is summarized in Table 3-6.
:TEXT commands
:DATA <a>
:DISPlay[:WINDow[1]]:TEXT:DATA <a>
Define message; top display
:DISPlay:WINDow2:TEXT:DATA <a>
Define message; bottom display
Parameters
<a> = ASCII characters for message
Types: String 'aa...a' or "aa...a"
Indefinite Block #0aa...a
Definite Block #XYaa...a
where; Y = number of characters in message:
Up to 20 for top display
Up to 32 for bottom display
X = number of digits that make up Y (1 or 2)
Query
:DATA?
Query the defined text message
Description
These commands define text messages for display. A message can be as long as 20 characters
for the top display, and up to 32 characters for the bottom display. A space is counted as a char-
acter. Excess message characters results in an error.
An indefinite block message must be the only command in the program message or the last com-
mand in the program message. If you include a command after an indefinite block message (on
the same line), it will be treated as part of the message and is displayed instead of executed.
:STATe <b>
:DISPlay[:WINDow[1]]:TEXT:STATe <b>
Control message; top display
:DISPlay:WINDow2:TEXT:STATe <b>
Control message; bottom display
Parameters
<b> = 0 or OFF
Disable text message for specified display
1 or ON
Enable text message for specified display
Query
:STATe?
Query state of message mode for specified display
Description
These commands enable and disable the text message modes. When enabled, a defined message
is displayed. When disabled, the message is removed from the display.
GPIB Operation — A user defined text message remains displayed only as long as the instru-
ment is in remote. Taking the instrument out of remote (by pressing the LOCAL key or sending
LOCAL 27), cancels the message and disables the text message mode.
RS-232 Operation — A user defined test message can only be cancelled by using this command
to disable the message or by cycling power.
