[SENSe:]<function>:RANGe:AUTO(?) {OFF|ON}
Description Switches the Meter between autoranging and manual ranging. Not having
Autorange thresholds are set for down range with readings <11 % of range
and up range with readings >120 % of range.

specified in the variable <function>. Not having selectable ranges, an error
is returned when using temperature, diode test, or continuity as the function
with the RANGe command. This setting is stored in volatile memory
For the frequency and period functions, the range command value refers to
the signal's input voltage and not the range of the frequency or period
measurement. Also, the word VOLTage must follow the function before
the RANGe command. See examples below.

Sets the Meter's dc volts to the 10 volt range.
Sets the Meter's ohms to the 100 kΩ range.
Sets the voltage input range to the 10 volt range
for frequency measurements.
Returns the set range for dc volts.
Returns the minimum range of the dc volts
function. (1.00000000E-01 or 100 mV)
Returns the maximum range of the 2-wire
resistance function. (1.00000000E+09 or 1 GΩ)
Note
Sets the Meter's ac amps to manual ranging.
