Description

Performs an instrument preset, setting the analyzer back to its factory settings. IP does not affect the contents of any data or trace registers or stored preselector data. IP does not clear the input or output data buffers on the 8560-series analyzers, but does clear them on the 8566A/B, 8568A/B.

Instrument preset automatically occurs when you turn on the analyzer. IP is a good starting point for many measurement processes. When IP is executed remotely, the analyzer does not necessarily execute a complete sweep, however. You should execute a take sweep (TS) to ensure that the trace data is valid after an IP.

The N9061A application executes this command after any language switch on the X-Series analyzer.

NOTE	The functions of the IP command are identical to the KST command (page 210).
NOTE	If the external amplifier gain has been set, executing an IP command does not reset
	this value. This is to protect the analyzer.
