13 :DISPlay Commands

:DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT

(see page 790)

Command Syntax

:DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT <string>

<string> ::= quoted ASCII string (up to 254 characters)

The :DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT command specifies the annotation string.

The annotation string can contain as many characters as will fit in the

Edit Annotation box on the oscilloscope's screen, up to 254 characters.

You can include a carriage return in the annotation string using the

characters "\n". Note that this is not a new line character but the actual "\

" (backslash) and "n" characters in the string. Carriage returns lessen the

number of characters available for the annotation string.

Use :DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT "" to remotely clear the annotation text.

(Two sets of quote marks without a space between them creates a NULL

string.)

Query Syntax

:DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT?

The :DISPlay:ANNotation:TEXT? query returns the specified annotation

text.

When carriage returns are present in the annotation text, they are

returned as the actual carriage return character (ASCII 0x0D).

Return Format

<string> ::= quoted ASCII string
