Description The MAX command adds a column to the results that displays the
maximum value of each parameter since the last time the maximum values

Enabling the column will always reset the MIN and MAX values for the
currently selected group. The values can also be reset by using the :RES
command or pressing the RESET/CLEAR key on the front panel.

column. Note that both MIN and MAX hold values will be reset.
