Instrument initialisation

The (factory) default setting of the HP8643 is applied and activated when
applying the DCL, SDC to the GPIB interface.
o
transmitting the *RST command
o
transmitting the first command after activating this emulation mode.
o
During initialisation, the emulated instrument (HP8643, HP8644, HP8645)
applies and activates the setting, which was active just before power down.
The SM* however applies and activates the (factory) default setting of the
HP8643 / HP8644 / HP8645.
This different behaviour has to be taken in consideration.
It is strongly recommended to explicitly setup all necessary parameters
by applying the corresponding command.
The following table shows the (factory) default setting, applied by the SM*'s
emulation software.
