Switching the Screen Display On and Off
In the default setting, all remote control commands are carried out with the screen dis-

REM ------------ Switching on the screen display ---------------------------
Public SUB DisplayOn()
CALL InstrWrite(analyzer, "SYST:DISP:UPD ON")
'Switch on screen display
