Disabling the front panel
The front panel (display and most controls) can be disabled to allow testing on
light sensitive devices; eliminate step-to-step timing jitter for Sweeps, Delta, and
Differential Conductance; and increase system speed.
The front panel can be disabled by pressing the DISP key. The following message
will be briefly displayed before the display shuts off:

Step-to-step timing jitter
For Sweeps, Delta, and Differential Conductance, step-to-step timing may jitter as
much as 1ms. This jitter can be eliminated by disabling the front panel.
If the display is disabled while a Sweep, Delta, or Differential Conductance is run-
ning, a 2-second pause in continuous operation will occur. To avoid this pause,
disable the front panel before arming the Sweep, Delta or Differential Conduc-
tance test. Keep in mind that remote programming must then be used to arm and
start the test.
