To set up the test set, you begin by sending the *RST command. The *RST is used to perform a full preset of the test set, returning it to a known state. *RST also sets all measurements to single trigger.
Another useful tool that you may want to turn on at this time is the GPIB command debugger. While turned on, error messages appear on the test set's screen when the test set receives an unknown GPIB command. The message contains information about what type of error was caused and indicates where in the syntax the error occurred. Troubleshooting, like locating and fixing typing errors for example, becomes easier using the GPIB command debugger.
