messages in the output queue when this command is processed they must be read at the
new address.
• The user should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to
communicate with the instrument again. After sending this command, make sure to use
the new address to communicate with the instrument.
• The GPIB address is stored in non-volatile memory. The reset function has no effect on
