Automatically activate output of R&S PSUs after mains comes up

Description

I have a R&S Laboratory Power Supply and could find not find a way to make it switch on the output automatically after mains comes up. How can this be done?

Resolution

Diverse regulations (e.g. EN 61010-1, CHapter 17) do not allow this.
The power supply will come up as it has been set before, but the output will not become active state.
Unfortunately the only way is either to switch the output on manually or to arrange remote controlled switching after mains is up.
