reported:

OUTP:PON:STATE

Power down the unit and power back up.
Re-establish connection over the bus.
If power settings other than factory defaults (60 Hz, low voltage range, output open, current
limit max) are required, set frequency and voltage range to the desired power up conditions
and save to register 0, send following commands:
