How to turn off text interpreter when plotting timeseries objects

I am plotting timeseries objects using plot.

My variable names include underscores (e.g. 'ABC_DEF') and I do not want these interpreted as LATEX (no subscripts).

It works fine on a single plot:

ts = timeseries((1:10)',randn(10,1),'Name','ABC_DEF');
figure
plot(ts)

But when you do subplots the interpreter seems to be set to LaTex:

figure
subplot(2,1,1); plot(ts)
subplot(2,1,2); ts.plot()

This answer explains how to change the interpreter for individual text commands but I can't find anything on this for timeseries plots.

One approach would be to set the interpreter for the entire figure before plotting (and reset it again afterwards):

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/default-property-values.html

For example:

fgh = figure(..);
set(fgh,'defaultTextInterpreter','none')
... create axes and plot data

Depending on the version you are using you might also want to set the axes' TickLabelInterpreter as well.

Use a space and backslash between ABC _ DEF when interpreting variables.

Latex treats text after _ subscript

ts = timeseries((1:10)',randn(10,1),'Name','ABC\_DEF');
figure
plot(ts)

figure
subplot(2,1,1); plot(ts)
subplot(2,1,2); ts.plot()

Thanks. This works but means that ts.Name is now not as readable. It also means that the name is now displayed incorrectly in the single plot.

I'd prefer to turn off the interpreter during plotting if there is a way to do that.
