Getting a Message
Polling a television demodulator only tells the PC if a message is
available. To receive the message, you must use the MSG? command.
The following example shows how to use the MSG? command to
retrieve a status message from a television demodulator.
The PC addresses a television demodulator that is busy and repeats the
addressing phase until the television demodulator returns a ready
phase. The PC then sends the “MSG?” command.

Data phase
After receiving the MSG? command, the television demodulator
places its answer in its transmit buffer, and the PC retrieves the
message with a receive phase. The data in this example (20h) is the
test message. Other bit patterns are listed with the MSG? command.
