The Keysight 34410A/11A provides a two–line, alphanumeric display, with annunciators to

Displayed Messages
While taking measurements, the primary display line shows the current reading, with units
(for example: “-0.001,02 VDC”). For some functions the second display line can be
enabled to display a secondary measurement.

The second line also displays momentary messages to convey instrument state changes.
