TEXT commands

:DATA <a>

This command is used to define the top and bottom display messages.

Usage

:DISPlay[:WINDow[1]]:TEXT:DATA <a>

:DISPlay:WINDow2:TEXT:DATA <a>

:DATA?

<a>

 ASCII characters for message

Details

Types: String 'aa...a' or "aa...a"

Indefinite Block #0aa...a

Definite Block #XYaa...a

Where: Y = number of characters in message:

Up to 20 for top display

Up to 32 for bottom display

X =number of digits that make up Y (1 or 2)

These commands define text messages for 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 results 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 is treated as part of the message and is displayed instead of executed.
