# Message PT, Trgt, and Src

The **PT** (Priority / Type), **Trgt** (Target), and **Src** (Source) fields define the first 3 bytes of a message in the Messages Editor for these networks:

* J1850 VPW with 3 byte header\*
* ISO9141 / Keyword
* J1850 PWM

\*Note: Use the Tools/Options/Vehicle Networks tab, [J1850 VPW Mode](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-tools/tools-options/options-spy-networks-tab/spy-networks-tab-j1850-vpw-mode.md) selector to switch between the 1 byte (Chrysler) and 3 byte (GM Class 2) headers. If a 1 byte header is selected, then the first 3 bytes will be ID, B1, and B2.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-spy-networks/message-editor/message-pt-trgt-and-src.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
