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.
