Hi,

I am writing an application that controls a 155 I/V source via SCPI. After a while the display's auto-dimming kicks in and I can't figure out how to light up the display. I tried the SCPI commands to adjust the brightness and turn the display on and off without any luck. Is this feature available?

Dear Andy,

There is at the moment no way to turn this off but I've let our engineers know to consider this in a future firmware update. Currently, the timer is set to 30 minutes and the display needs to be touched to bring it to light back up.

Greetings,
Ogi K.

It would be helpful. I really don't want the operator touching the display every time it goes dim. I've implemented the keyboard lock command so they won't accidentally turn something on/off while re-enabling the display.

I think I would be okay if the display always auto-timed out and there was a way to "simulate" touching the display, thus resetting the time out counter.

thanks,

Andy
