## Command Syntax

    :SYSTem:DEFault

## 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 `*RST (Reset)` 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.

Use an `*OPC (Operation Complete)` query to pause program execution while waiting for this operation to complete.

## Python Example

    Infiniium.write(':SYSTem:GTLocal')
    Infiniium.close()
