reset() 
This function resets commands to their default settings. 
Usage 
reset() 
reset(system) 
 
What to reset: 
▪  true: If the node is the master, the entire system is reset (default) 
▪  false: Only the local group is reset 
 
Details 
The reset() command in its simplest form resets the entire TSP-enabled system, including the 
controlling node and all subordinate nodes. 
If you want to reset a specific instrument, use either the localnode.reset() or 
node[X].reset() command. Use the localnode.reset() command for the local instrument. 
Use the node[X].reset() command to reset an instrument on a subordinate node. 
You can only reset the entire system using reset(true) if the node is the master. If the node is not 
the master node, executing this command generates an error. 
 
Example 
 
If the node is the master node, the entire system is reset; if 
the node is not the master node, an error is generated.
