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 message and is displayed instead of executed.

:DISPlay:WINDow2:TEXT:STATe <b> Control message; bottom display
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Disable text message for specified display
1 or ON Enable text message for specified display
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 — A user defined text message remains displayed
only as long as the instrument is in remote. Taking the instrument out of
remote (by pressing the LOCAL key or sending LOCAL 27) 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.
