The display style is irrelevant.. It is just a cosmetic property.
You could change the display style in my VI back to normal and it would still work exactly the same as long as you don't change the value, it just would look differently....

It sounds like changing the display style made his backslash code work. What seemed to be left unsaid was what he did with the actual string to support this change.
One thing that I will say is confusing is that the VISA test panel accepts either an explicit backslash code or the keyboard equivalent. i.e., \n or just the enter key. The example they give - *IDN?\n - makes it seem like that's what you are supposed to do, so you copy that string and then it doesn't work. it isn't immediately clear that the interactive window is set to "View mixed ASCII/hexadecimal" and the command window certainly doesn't mention it...

No, I added the correct command, made it the default for the control, and changed to display style to \-codes for better visibility, then attached my version.
The recommended procedure would probably be to have a string input for only the text part of the command and add the trimmings on the diagram side using string functions to form the command. 😄
