EXAMPLE (GPIB)
The MESSAGE command displays a string of characters in the
Message Field above the grid. The string may be up to 45 charac-
ters in length. The string is displayed as long as the instrument is in
remote mode and no internal status message is generated. Turning
the oscilloscope back to local mode deletes the message. After the
next transition from local to remote the message will be
redisplayed. The message is cleared at power up when the RESET
button on the rear panel is pressed or if an empty string is sent
(MSG .... ).
The MESSAGE? query allows the user to read the last message
which was sent.
Note: This command can be executed in both local and remote
modes.
