[Python] Stop PyVISA from writing to the console in Spyder

I have some code which utilizes the PyVISA package to control a detector through USB. The code runs perfectly fine, but PyVISA dumps a bunch of debug information in the console which is making it difficult for me to print to the console to debug myself. Code and console printout below.

My code:

def pmt_onoff_test(gain_level = 0, offset_voltage = -0.009, lpfreq = 80000000):
gain_voltage = PMT1_gain_levels['voltage'].iloc[int(gain_level)

rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
pmt1 = rm.open_resource(pmt1_address)

pmt1.write("INST:SEL GAIN")
pmt1.write("SOUR:VOLT %f" % gain_voltage)

pmt1.write("INST:SEL OFFSET")
pmt1.write("SOUR:VOLT %f" % offset_voltage)

pmt1.write("SENS:FILT:LPAS:FREQ %f" % lpfreq)

pmt1.write("SENS:FUNC:ON %s" % pmt2101_model)
time.sleep(5)
pmt1.write("SENS:FUNC:OFF %s" % pmt2101_model)

rm.close()


Console output:

I tried searching the PyVISA API documentation for some option to turn off debug information but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have suggestions for suppressing this output in the console?
