Set phasers on stun?

I may be creating a backronym here, but to me the idea of changing state 
on an object via "set" goes back to terminology used in circuit theory, 
when bi-stable latches where used for memory.  One state was "set" and 
the other state was "reset."  So when you added some state you were 
generally using the "set" line to do so.

So this would be a technical term, not related directly to English 
language use of the same name.
