 !

 specifies the length, in seconds, that the waveform points are displayed on

the screen. The range is 250 ms to 10 s.

  

specifies that the waveform points are displayed fading for 3 seconds before they
completely disappear.

DISplay:STYle

Selects how the data is displayed for normal (not InstaVu) mode. This command
is equivalent to setting Style in the Display menu.
