## Query Syntax

    :STATus:MESSage:EVENt?

## Description

Reads the message event register to determine the status of individual status bits. The decimal-weighted value of the register is returned. The only bit used is bit 0 (MSG), which indicates if a message is displayed on Infiniium 2026's screen and placed in the message queue.

Reporting of event register bits in the status register system is controlled by the mask loaded into the enable register. All true event bits, that are enabled, are logically "OR"ed, which results in setting true bit 2 (MSG) of the Status Byte Register.
