As far as I understand, this is against our philosophy; we do **not** want the `__init__` of a driver to change the state of the instrument.

Research direction
Read the referenced sections of qcodes/instrument_drivers/agilent/E8267C.py and qcodes/instrument_drivers/HP/HP8133A.py first. Check which initialization operations change instrument state, then verify that reinitializing either driver leaves the instrument state unchanged while preserving required setup. No test file is named in the issue.
