*RST (Reset)
The *RST command resets the Test Set. When the *RST command is
received the majority of fields in the Test Set are “restored” to a default
value, some fields are “maintained” at their current state and some are
“initialized” to a known state. Refer to “Instrument Initialization” on
page 177 for further information. Other operational characteristics are
also affected by the *RST command as follows:
• All pending operations are aborted.
• The Test Set’s display screen is in the UNLOCKED state.

REP.
