Clearing registers and queues
When the SourceMeter is turned on, various register status elements will be set
as follows:
• The PON bit in the status.condition register will be set.
• Bits such as the output enable and over-temperature bits will be set
appropriately.
• All enable registers will be set to 0.
• All NTR registers will be set to 0.
• All used PTR register bits will be set to 1.
• The two queues will be empty.
Commands to reset the status registers and the Error Queue are listed in Table D-
2. In addition to these commands, any programmable register can be reset by send-
ing the 0 parameter value with the individual command to program the register.
