Reset Command

To initialize the PCR-M panel settings, use the *RST command.

 

*RST

 

This command resets most of the panel settings to the known default state, however, there are some items that are not affected by the *RST command.

 

:SENSe:AVERage OFF

:SENSe:HOLD SHORt

:TRIG:SYNChronize:PHASe 0

:TRIG:SYNChronize:SOURce IMMediate

:SYSTem:CONFigure:TRACe OFF

 

These above settings are their factory default values, which are not initialized by *RST, *RCL (panel recall), or PCR-M power-on. Therefore, they must be explicitly sent after the *RST command if you want to completely reset the panel settings.

Turning the power on while holding down the RECALL key resets the PCR-M to the factory default settings.

All the panel settings, panel memory contents, and configuration settings are reset.
