Programming Guide
Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.
A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON.
*RST: ON
Turning the display backlight OFF conserves battery power (if the
Counter has the Battery option).
If the Counter is operating from battery power (Battery option
required), the display backlight is automatically turned off after a
period of inactivity. When activity is subsequently detected (a
measurable signal is applied, a front-panel key is pressed, or a setting
is changed by a command sent over the HP-IB or the RS-232
interface), the display backlight is restored to its previous state (i.e., if
the backlight was set to OFF, it remains off; if the backlight was set to
ON, it is turned on).
