Key Path: Front-panel key
Remote Command: :SYSTem:PRESet
Example: :SYST:PRES
Notes: *RST is preferred over :SYST:PRES for remote operation. *RST does a
Mode Preset, as done by the :SYST:PRES command, and it 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.
Couplings: 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.
