How can I switch off HP34401A Multimeters Display for faster readings"

"Hi I'm using HP34401A Multimeter to obtain 10,000 readings. I was told that if the display of the multimeter is switched off, one can take the readings faster. I'm using the HP34401A Getting Started.vi and was wondering if there's any way to switch the display off from the vi.
I'm also using the HP34970A Single Point Demo.vi (provided by NI-LabVIEW) and when I use that vi, the display(screen) of that instrument switches off automatically.
I tried figuring out in the vi what excatly made the display turn off, but I couldn't.
I'll be really glad if someone can help me out.
Thanking in anticipation.

Kunal."

Kunal,
This instrument driver is packaged with LabVIEW. The HP 34401A System Controls.vi has the option to turn the display on or off.
