dmm.reset()
Remarks
When the parameter equals "active", this command will only reset the DMM aspects of
the system for the active function only. Settings affects are:
Active dmm function (dmm.func (on page 13-137)) has its pertinent attributes reset
to factory default values.
Other functions are unchanged.
DMM configurations (dmm.setconfig() (on page 13-168) and dmm.getconfig() (on
page 13-139)) are unchanged. The rest of the settings are unaffected. To reset the
entire system to factory default settings, use the reset() (on page 13-230)
command. To reset all functions of the DMM, use the dmm.reset("all") command.
When the parameter equals "all", this command will only reset the dmm aspects of the
system to factory default settings. Settings affected are
Selected dmm function (dmm.func (on page 13-137)) goes to "dcvolts".
Dmm settings go to defaults for "dcvolts".
Each other function is reset back to its factory default settings as well.
The rest of the settings are unaffected. To reset the entire system to factory default
settings, use the reset command. To reset the active function, use this command
with the parameter set to "active".
