Appendix E: Factory Initialization Settings

The following tables lists the commands affected by factory initialization. Table
E–1 on page E–1 lists commands for the AWG710.

The 

SYStem:SECurity:IMMediate

 command initializes all the settings as

shown below; the 

*RST

 command has no effect on the Status commands and the

SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN

 commands.
