Instrument Initialization
The Power-On Reset condition in the Test Set was specifically designed to

are also affected by the Power-On Reset as follows:
• The Power-up self-test diagnostics are performed.
• The Contents of the SAVE/RECALL registers are not affected.
• All pending operations are aborted.
• Measurement triggering is set to TRIG:MODE:SETT FULL;RETR REP
• All Enable registers are cleared: Service Request, Standard Event, Communicate,
Hardware #1, Hardware #2, Operation, Calibration, Call Processing and Questionable
Data/Signal.
• All Negative Transition Filter registers are initialized to all zeros: Communicate,
Hardware #1, Hardware #2, Operation, Calibration, Call Processing and Questionable
Data/Signal.
• All Positive Transition Filter registers are initialized to all ones: Communicate,
Hardware #1, Hardware #2, Operation, Calibration, Call Processing and Questionable
Data/Signal.
• Any previously received Operation Complete command (*OPC) is cleared.
• Any previously received Operation Complete query command (*OPC?) is cleared.
• Calibration data is not affected.
• The GPIB interface is reset (any pending Service Request is cleared.)
• The contents of the RAM memory are unaffected.
• The Test Set’s display screen is in the UNLOCKED state.
Front-panel PRESET Key
The Front-panel Reset is accomplished by pressing the PRESET key on the front
panel of the Test Set.
For the CONFIGURE, PRINT CONFIGURE, TESTS (Execution Conditions),
TESTS (Printer Setup) and I/O CONFIGURE screens,
Table 29 lists the fields
which are restored/initialized when the front-panel PRESET key is pressed. The
restored state or initialized value is listed below the field name. Fields which are
not listed are maintained at their current value, whatever that may happen to be.
All fields in the TESTS (Main Menu) screen and the TESTS (External Devices)
screen are maintained at their current state/value. The current state/value of the
maintained fields can be ascertained programmatically.
