3.4.10 PSC/ PSC? command/query (Power on Status Clear)
The PSC command controls the automatic clear of the service request enable register, standard
event status enable register, and instrument-specific event enable register groups at power on.
The values set by the PSC command can be obtained using the PSC? query. If the value of the
response data is "0", the status of each enable register is retained even while the power is off. If the
value of the response data is "1", this shows that each of above enable registers is cleared when the
power is turned on again.
