DISP:TEXT
Sends character strings to the display when the display mode is TEXT. The LCD display has the following character set:
LCD Character Set
uppercase letters A through Z (Case-sensitive entry)
digits 0 through 9
punctuation _ | “ $ < > + - / = ? . : ,
blank space
A display is capable of showing up to 12 characters. However, the three punctuation characters do not count toward the 12-
character limit when they are preceded by an alphanumeric character. When punctuation characters are included, then the
maximum number of characters (alphanumeric + punctuation) that can be displayed is 15. If it exceeds the display capacity,
a message will be truncated to fit and no error message will be generated. If any character in the message is not a member
of the above character set, the character will be displayed as a starburst (all 16 segments of the character are lit).
Note IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation requires that a string be enclosed in
either single (‘) or double (") quotes.
