:DATA? Query the defined text message
Short-form formats: :disp:text:data?
:disp:wind2:text:data?
Response message: User defined text message
These commands define the text messages that you wish to display. The 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 (over 20 and 32 respectively) will cause error.
A string message must be enclosed in single quotes or double quotes. Both of the following
string messages are valid:
'My dog has fleas' or "My dog has fleas"
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 will be displayed instead of ex-
ecuted.
