This command is used to enable and disable the front panel display circuitry. Disabling the dis-
play circuitry allows the instrument to operate at a higher speed. While disabled, the display will
be frozen with the following message:

Press LOCAL to resume.
As reported by the message, all front panel controls (except LOCAL) will be disabled. Normal
display operation can be resumed by using the :ENABle command to enable the display or by
putting the Model 7001 into local.
