Complete Query Idle State,” and
• clears (empties) the Key Queue
The reset does not affect:
• the macros defined with *DMC,
• the calibration data,
• the Service Register Enable or the Standard Event Status Enable,
• the Output Queue, and
• the IEEE 488.1 address or the state of the IEEE 488.1 interface.
See the section titled “*RST Response,” page 2-36, in Chapter 2 of this guide for

Each command description in this chapter (Chapter 4) includes the *RST state in
the “Comment” portion of the definition.
