the front-panel display overrides the display state.
The display is automatically enabled when the waveform generator has been
turned off or after *RST command, or when you return to local (front-panel)
operation.
The display state is saved when you store the instrument state using *SAV
command. Use *RCL command to recall the instrument state and the
front-panel display will return to the previous state.

Show a message on the front panel display. This command overrides the display
state (DISP OFF command). The allowed message can be up to 12 characters in
a large font and more characters in a small font; Any additional characters will
be truncated.
With a message diaplaying on the front-panel display, information relating to
the output waveform such as frequency is not shown on the display.

:TEXT?

Query the message sent to the front panel display.

DISPlay

:TEXT:CLEar

Clear the message shown on the front panel display.
If the display is currently enabled, this command will clear the message on the
front-panel display and return the normal front-panel display mode.
If the display is currently disabled, this command will clear the message on the
display, but the display remains off.

Specify the shape of the modulating waveform. This applies only when the
modulation source is Internal (FM:SOUR INT command). Noise can be a
modulating waveform, but cannot be used as a carrier waveform, neither do
Pulse nor dc. The default modulating waveform is a sine waveform.
