 It is recommended to test the new setting which will be programmed
on the instrument by setting it up manually. Enable the outputs so
that the instruments error check system is on and possible parameter
conflicts are immediately displayed. When you have found the
correct setting, then use this to create the program. In the program it
is recommended to send the command for enabling outputs (for
example, :OUTPut1 ON) as the last command. With this procedure
it is possible to increase programming speed.
*RST
# set default settings
:DISP OFF
# switch off display update
...
# other commands to set modes
