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. (See “ASCII display values,” page 10-17.)
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 message and is displayed instead of executed.
