Restore Mode Defaults; Rst (Remote Command Only) - Agilent Technologies X Series Manual

System Functions
Mode Preset

Restore Mode Defaults

Resets the state for the currently active mode by resetting the mode persistent settings to their factory
default values, clearing mode data and by performing a Mode Preset. This function will never cause a
mode switch. This function performs a full preset for the currently active mode; whereas, Mode Preset
performs a partial preset. Restore Mode Defaults does not affect any system settings. System settings are
reset by the Restore System Defaults function. This function does reset mode data; as well as settings.

*RST (Remote Command Only)

*RST is equivalent to :SYST:PRES;:INIT:CONT OFF which is a Mode Preset in the Single
measurement state. This remote command is preferred over Mode Preset remote command -
:SYST:PRES, as optimal remote programming occurs with the instrument in the single measurement
state.

Clears all pending OPC bits. The Status Byte is set to 0.
A message comes up saying: "If you are sure, press key again".
A Restore Mode Defaults will cause the currently running measurement to be
aborted and causes the default measurement to be active. It gets the mode to a
consistent state with all of the default couplings set.
