the instrument operates at a higher speed. While disabled, the display is frozen.

resumed by using the :ENABle command to enable the display or by putting the Model 2182
into local mode (press LOCAL).

must be enclosed in either double quotes (“ ”) or single quotes (‘ ’).
Description
These commands define the text message for display. A message can be as long as 12
characters. A space counts as a character. Excess message characters results in an error.

Parameters
<b> = 0 or OFF Disable text message
1 or ON Enable text message
Description
This command enables and disables the text message mode. When enabled, a defined

A user defined text message remains displayed only as long as the instrument is in remote.
Taking the instrument out of remote (by pressing the LOCAL key or sending GTL), cancels the
message and disables the text message mode.
