Details
These commands define text messages for the OUTPUT view screen.
If you enter too many characters, the instrument displays an error, -223, "too much data."
When you send this command, text must be enclosed in either single quotes (' '), or double quotes
("").
A user-defined text message remains displayed only when the instrument is in remote operation.
Taking the instrument out of remote operation cancels the message.
Example
:DISP:USER:TEXT "Test running"
Display the text,
Test running
in the setting area of
the screen.
