Display Commands
Display commands let you change the graticule style, change the displayed
intensities, turn off waveform display, display messages, and clear the menu.
When you turn off waveform display, the instrument acquires and transmits
waveforms but does not display them. The update rate is much faster when
waveform display is off.
