P commands
This section lists commands and queries that begin with the letter P.
*PSC
Sets or queries the power-on status flag that controls the automatic power-on
handling of the DESER, SRER, and ESER registers. When *PSC is true, the
DESER register is set to 255 and the SRER and ESER registers are set to 0 at
power on. When *PSC is false, the current values in the DESER, SRER, and
ESER registers are preserved in nonvolatile memory when power is shut off and
are restored at power on. Refer to the Status and Events section for more
information. Command only, no query form.

*SRE on page 219
Arguments
OFF sets the power-on status clear flag to false.
ON sets the power-on status clear flag to true.
<NR1> = 0 sets the power-on status clear flag to false, disables the power on
clear, and allows the instrument to possibly assert SRQ after power on.
<NR1> ≠0 sets the power-on status clear flag true. Sending *PSC 1, therefore,
enables the power-on status clear and prevents any SRQ assertion after power on.
Examples
*PSC0 sets the power-on status clear flag to false.
*PSC? might return the value 1, showing that the power-on status clear flag is set
to true.
