Power On Status Clear
*PSC
Sets the flag controlling the clearing of defined registers at Power On.
Nrf
A number which, when rounded to an integer value of zero, sets the power on clear flag
false. This allows the instrument to assert SRQ at power on.
When the value rounds to an integer value other than zero it sets the power on clear flag
true, which clears the standard event status enable and service request enable registers so
that the instrument will not assert an SRQ on power up. This data is saved in non volatile
memory for use at Power On.
