<nrf

value>

Parameters	An <nrf value>; -where 1 = on, 0 = off.
Notes	Turning the display and LEDs off means that a message of all blank spaces is sent to the
	display, and most of the LEDs will be turned off.
Examples	"las:dis 1" -action: turns the LASER display on and enables the LASER indicator LEDs.
	"Laser:dis Off" -action: turns the LASER display and disables the LASER indicator
	LEDs.

	The LASer:DISplay? query returns the value shown on the display.
Syntax Diagram
	:	LAS	:	DIS	?
Notes	Returns the actual (6-character) string from the output buffer to the display. If the display
	is disabled, it returns " .".
Examples	"LAS:DIS?"	-response: "- 99.9", means the LASER display shows "- 99.9".
	"Laser:DISp?" -response: " 0.6", means the LASER display shows " 0.6".
