DISPlay:MODE?
QUERY
DISP:MODE?
Syntax: Short Form: DISP:MODE? Long Form: DISPlay:MODE?
Return Value: NORMAL or TEXT.
Description: Identifies the LCD mode. Returns NORMAL when the display is in normal mode, TEXT when the dis-
play is in text mode. Related Commands: DISP:MODE, DISP:TEXT, *RST. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.16
DISPlay:TEXT
COMMAND
DISP:TEXT
Syntax: Short Form: DISP:TEXT[:DATA] <char_string> Long Form: DISPlay:TEXT [:DATA] <char_string>
Description: Allows entry of character string to be viewed when LCD display is set to Text mode. Allows for
character strings of maximum 16 characters to be displayed (on the second line of the LCD) when the
display mode is TEXT, e.g., DO NOT TOUCH or ABC IS IN USE, etc. The LCD has the following char-
acter set: A to Z, 0 to 9 and special characters as < > + - / = : ... If the message exceeds the display
capacity only the first 16 characters will be displayed and no error message will be generated. Upon
executing *RST, character string set to 16 spaces:” “. Related Commands: DISP:TEXT?,
DISP:MODE, DISP:MODE?, *RST. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.17
DISPlay:TEXT?
QUERY
DISP:TEXT?
Syntax: Short Form: DISP:TEXT? Long Form: DISPlay:TEXT]?
Return Value: Character string displayed on second line of LCD display.
Description: Returns the text displayed on second line of LCD in TEXT mode. When the display set to TEXT
mode, returns the character string entered by DISP:TEXT. If the display set to NORMAL mode,
returns information displayed on second line of display. (This can be used to see the monitored values
presently being displayed on the second line of the LCD.) Related Commands: DISP:MODE,
DISP:TEXT, *RST. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.18
INITiate[:IMMediate]
COMMAND
INIT[:IMM]
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:[IMM] Long Form: INITiate[:IMMediate]
Description: Enables a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single
trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redun-
dant. This command enables a single trigger. A GPIB <GET>, *TRG or command completes the
sequence. Upon receipt of the <GET> or *TRG command, the power supply will return to the pro-
grammed values of voltage and current established by the VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG commands.
After a GPIB <GET> or *TRG command has been received, subsequent GPIB <GET>, *TRG com-
mands have no effect unless preceded by INIT or INIT:CONT ON. Related Commands: <GET>, *RST,
*TRG. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.19
INITiate:CONTinuous
COMMAND
INIT:CONT
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:CONT {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} ( 1 = on, 0 = off)
Long Form: INITiate:CONTinuous {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} ( 1 = on, 0 = off)
Description: INIT:CONT ON enables continuous triggers.; INIT:CONT OFF disables continuous triggers. If
INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON,
then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redundant. Executing *RST command
sets INIT:CONT to OFF. (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.20
INITiate:CONTinuous
QUERY
INIT:CONT?
Syntax: Short Form: INIT:CONT? Long Form: :INITiate:CONTinuous?
Return Value: 1 or 0
Description: Determines whether continuous triggers are enabled or disabled. Power supply returns value of
INIT:CONT flag: “1” = continuous triggers are enabled (INIT:CONT ON); “0” = continuous triggers dis-
abled (INIT:CONT OFF). (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.21
INSTrument:STATe
COMMAND
INST:STAT
Syntax: Short Form :INST:STAT <val> Long Form: INSTrument:STATe <val>
