DISPlay[:STATe]?
Description
This command disables or enables the instrument's front-panel display. For security reasons or for a slight increase in measurement rates, you may want to turn off the front-panel display. When disabled, the entire front-panel display goes dark and all display annunciators except ERROR, HOT, and Safety Interlock are disabled.

Remarks
You can disable the front-panel display from the remote interface only.
Sending a text message to the display (see DISPlay:TEXT command) overrides the display state; this means that you can display a message even if the display is turned off.
The display setting is not stored as part of the instrument state by the *SAV command.
The front-panel display is automatically enabled when power is cycled, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query command returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON).
Examples
