These commands configure the test set's front panel display.

Sets/queries the test set's display brightness.
Setting Range: MEDium | HIGH
Query Range: MED | HIGH
Factory Setting: HIGH
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Set the display brightness to medium.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:BRIGhtness MEDium")
An immediate action command that saves the current E6601A WCTS Program display to the specified directory. The file is saved in JPEG format. The DISPlay:SCReen[?] and DISPlay:MEASurement[:FRONt] commands can be used to set up the front panel display if required. The default directory is D:\E6601A_WCTS\<program version>\Display Images\. This default directory is set when the test set is turned on.
Setting Range: An absolute path (a path starting with a '\' or a drive designator) or a file name.
*RST Setting: no effect
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above; A.04 changed default directory from drive C to drive D
Example:
' Save the current program screen as PVTMeas.jpg.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:CAPTure "PVTMeas"")
An immediate action command that saves the current desktop display to the specified directory. The file is saved in JPEG format. The default directory is D:\E6601A_WCTS\<program version>\Display Images\. This default directory is set when the test set is turned on.
Setting Range: An absolute path (a path starting with a '\' or a drive designator) or a file name.
*RST Setting: no effect
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above; A.04 changed default directory from drive C to drive D
Example:
' Save the current desktop display as message1.jpg.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:CAPTure:DESKtop "message1"")
Queries the current path the screen capture is saved to. The default directory is D:\E6601A_WCTS\<program version>\Display Images. This default directory is set when the test set is turned on or after you have switched applications.
Setting Range: An absolute path (a path starting with a '\' or a drive designator) or a file name.
*RST Setting: no effect
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above; A.04 changed default directory from drive C to drive D
Example:
' Query the default folder a screen capture is saved to.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:CAPTure:FOLDer?")
Sets the measurement results that are displayed at the front of the measurements screen. This screen can then be saved to a JPEG file using DISPlay:CAPTure[:PROGram].
Setting Range: all measurement enumerations, for example, DPOWer and RFCHannel
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above
Example:
' Set the dynamic power measurement to display at the front of the measurement's screen.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:MEASurement DPOWer")
Sets/queries the test set's display mode. If the tracking mode is set to OFF and the test set is in the IEEE488 Remote state, the Manual User Interface (MUI) no longer receives most updates from the underlying infrastructure. In addition, most front panel keys are ignored. Normal MUI operation can be resumed by either pressing the front panel “Local” key or setting the tracking mode to ON. This setting is retained when you restart the test set. The initial value is ON.
Setting Range: 0 | OFF | 1 | ON
Query Range: 0 | 1
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Turn the tracking mode to Off.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:MODE:TRACking OFF")
Sets/queries the E6601A WCTS screen you want displayed. This screen can then be saved to a JPEG file using DISPlay:CAPTure[:PROGram]. If you select to display the Measurements screen you can select which measurement is displayed using DISPlay:MEASurement[:FRONt].
Setting Range: CALL | MAIN | MEASurement | CONFig
Query Range: CALL | MAIN | MEAS | CONFig
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above
Example:
' Set the screen to be displayed as the configuration screen.
TestSet.WriteString("DISPlay:SCReen CONFig")
