Query
:DATA?
Query the defined text message
Description
These commands define text messages for the display. A message can be as
long as 20 characters for the top display, and up to 32 characters for the bottom
display. A space is counted as a character. Excess message characters result in
an error.
An indefinite block message must be the only command in the program message
or the last command in the program message. If you include a command after an
indefinite block message (on the same line), it will be treated as part of the mes-
sage and is displayed instead of executed.

:DISPlay:WINDow2:TEXT:STATe <b>Control message; bottom display
Parameters

0 or OFF

1 or ON

Query
:STATe?
Query state of message mode for specified display
Description
These commands enable and disable the text message modes. When enabled, a
defined message is displayed. When disabled, the message is removed from the
display.
GPIB operation

instrument is in remote. Taking the instrument out of remote (by pressing the
LOCAL key or sending LOCAL 25) cancels the message and disables the text
message mode.
RS-232 operation
: A user defined test message can be cancelled by sending the
:SYSTem:LOCal command or pressing the LOCAL key.
