PPU

The PPU (Parallel Poll Unconfigure) command disables the power meter
from responding to a parallel poll. This is effectively a universal disable.

SDC

The SDC (Selected Device Clear) command causes all HP-IB instruments
in the listen state, to assume a cleared condition. The definition of a
selected device clear is unique for each instrument. For the power meter:
• All pending operations are halted, that is, *OPC? and *WAI.
• The parser (the software that interprets the programming codes)
is reset and now expects to receive the first character of a
programming code.
• The output buffer is cleared.
