:POSetup? Query power-on setup
Short-form format: :syst:pos?
Response message: RST, PRES or SAV0-SAV9
This command is used to program the power-on defaults. With RST selected, the instrument will
power up to the *RST default conditions. With PRES selected, the instrument will power up to
the :SYStem:PRESet default conditions. Table 5-5 defines the default conditions for these com-
mands.
With one of the SAV parameters selected, the instrument will power on to the setup that is saved
in the specified memory location using the *SAV command.

Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first selects :SYSTem:PRESet power-
on defaults, and the second queries the power-on setup.
Line 20 Addresses the 7001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the power-on setup (PRES).
