  Reset by burst string (Burst Peak Hold): In burst mode, the peak will be held until a new burst 
string is being sent via the digital interface, so the effective peak hold time is defined as the 
time difference between two sent burst strings. 
In the poll mode, there is a dedicated peak hold time set to <BS> + 10 ms whereby <BS> is the 
parameter for the burst speed. 
This function Burst Peak Hold is activated by means of the programming command <BP=1> 
and resets the commands <F>, <G>, and <P>.

7.3.2.2 Signal Slope 
Here are the following options to define the lapse for the signal slope in case of a reset. 
  Signal slope defined by perpendicular drop (default) 
 
Figure 18: Perpendicular Signal Slope 
  Signal slope defined by a linear decay: the decay is given in the Kelvin/second. This parameter 
is set by means of the programming command <XE>.
