Resets
There are several types of resets in the Model 2461.
In general, the terms "reset," "instrument reset," and "system reset" refer to the reset that is
performed when you send the *RST or reset() command, or when you select MENU > System >
Info/Manage > System Reset from the front panel. It resets most commands to their default values.
For more information about the settings that get reset, refer to Reset default values (on page 4-25).
The instrument also responds to other types of resets. These resets include:
• SMU reset: This reset is only available if you are using the TSP command set. The
smu.reset() function turns off the output and resets any commands that begin with smu. to
their default values. Refer to smu.reset() (on page 8-175).
• Password reset: This resets the instrument password to its default value. You can reset the
password by pressing the MENU key, selecting Info/Manage (under System), and selecting
Password Reset. When you do this, the password returns to the default setting. Refer to
Instrument access (on page 3-77).
• Digital line reset: This resets digital I/O line values to their factory defaults if you are using the
TSP command set. If you are using SCPI, the lines are reset when the system is reset.LAN
reset: This resets the LAN settings and the instrument password to the system default values. To
do this reset, insert a straightened paper clip into hole below LAN RESET on the rear panel. For
the location of LAN RESET, refer to Rear panel overview (on page 2-7).
• Status preset: This resets all bits in the status model. If you are using the SCPI command set,
refer to :STATus:PRESet (on page 6-136). If you are using the TSP command set, refer to
status.preset() (on page 8-226).
• Trigger blender reset: This reset is only available if you are using the TSP command set.
Resets some of the trigger blender settings to their factory defaults. Refer to
trigger.blender[N].reset() (on page 8-238).
• Trigger timer reset: This reset is only available if you are using the TSP command set. Resets
trigger timer settings to their default values. Refer to trigger.timer[N].reset() (on page 8-305).
• TSP-Link line reset: This reset is only applicable if you are using TSP-Link. Resets some of the
TSP-Link trigger attributes to their defaults. Refer to tsplink.line[N].reset() (on page 8-320).
• TSP-Net reset: This reset is only applicable if you are using TSP-NET. Disconnects all TSP-Net
sessions. Refer to tspnet.reset() (on page 8-330).
