System Functions

Mode Preset

Mode Preset
Returns the active mode to a known state.
Mode Preset does the following for the currently active mode:
• Aborts the currently running measurement.
• Brings up the default menu for the mode, with no active function.
• Sets measurement Global settings to their preset values for the active mode only.
• Activates the default measurement.
• Brings up the default menu for the mode.
• Clears the input and output buffers.
• Sets Status Byte to 0.
does not:
Mode Preset
• Cause a mode switch
• Affect mode persistent settings
• Affect system settings

How-To Preset
The table below shows all possible presets, their corresponding SCPI commands and front-panel access
(key paths). Instrument settings depend on the current measurement context. Some settings are local to
the current measurement, some are global (common) across all the measurements in the current mode,
and some are global to all the available modes. In a similar way, restoring the settings to their preset state
can be done within the different contexts.

:SYSTem:PRESet
:SYST:PRES
*RST is preferred over :SYST:PRES for remote operation. *RST does a Mode
Preset, as done by the :SYST:PRES command, and sets the measurement
mode to Single measurement rather than Continuous for optimal remote
control throughput.
Clears all pending OPC bits. The Status Byte is set to 0.
A Mode Preset aborts the currently running measurement, activates the default
measurement, and. gets the mode to a consistent state with all of the default
couplings set.
