The SetDefault(opts) command sets the default value of the corresponding options for use in Student[LinearAlgebra] package routines.  More than one such option setting can be given in the command invocation.

The options which can be set this way are:

The return value from a call to SetDefault is the previous value of each option given in the invocation.  This allows you to save and restore the prior state when temporarily modifying the default setting of one or more options.

The conjugate option can also be locally adjusted by providing a conjugate parameter in the calling sequence to any package function which accepts it.
