5.9 *RST
The reset (*RST) command has the same effect as an IEEE-488 Device Clear bus command but can
be used over the RS232C interface as well. This command resets the power source to the following
factory-defined states:
Table 5-1 : *RST default parameter values
Command Syntax *RST
Parameters None
Related Commands *SAV
A *RST command or a IEEE-488 Device Clear also clears all status registers but does not change the
Event Enable registers for each status register group.
Application note:
When using the *RST command on systems set to power up in single phase mode, it will be necessary
to momentarily change the power on selection to three phase mode to ensure all three phases are re-
initialized. This can be done with the following code sequence:
PONS:NOUT? // Determine current PONS phase setting.
<response>
PONS:NOUT THR // Set to three phase initialization
*RST // Issue reset commend.
Delay 500msec // allow time to reset system.
If <response> <> THR Then // Set back if needed
PONS:NOUT <response>
End if
