## Command Syntax

    *RST

## Description

Places Infiniium in a known start-up state, resetting general and trigger settings, without changing probe, channel skew, preferences, and instrument connection settings. This is the same action as using the `:SYSTem:DEFault` command or clicking Infiniium's Setup > Default Setup menu command.

An autoscale is not performed.

It is a good practice to set Infiniium to its default state at the start of each program.

## Python Example

    import pyvisa  # PyVISA package
    rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
    Infiniium = rm.open_resource('TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0,4880::INSTR')
    Infiniium.query('*RST')
    ...
    ...
    ...
    Infiniium.write(':SYSTem:GTLocal')
    Infiniium.close()
