To enable the input divider for DC volts:
dmm.func = "dcvolts"
dmm.inputdivider = dmm.ON
Indicates if limit Y should be cleared automatically or not.
To read the auto clear setting:
value = dmm.limit[Y].autoclear
To write the auto clear setting:
dmm.limit[Y].autoclear = value
Use one of the following:

dmm.ON or 1 to enable auto clear

dmm.OFF or 0 to disable auto clear
When this attribute is set to dmm.ON,a limit fail condition will track how the
measurements are taken. If the measurement failed limit, then the fail indication will
be set. If the next measurement passes limit, the failed limit condition clears.
Therefore, if scanning or taking a series of measurements with auto cleared enabled
for a limit, then the last measurement limit dictates the fail indication for the limit. To
know if any of a series of measurements failed the limit, then set the auto clear setting
to off. Otherwise, when set to dmm.OFF, a failed indication will not be cleared
automatically and will remain set until it is cleared by
94). The auto clear setting affects both the high and low limits of Y.
dmm.measure (on page 9-102)
Enable auto clear on limit 2:
dmm.limit[2].autoclear = dmm.ON
Clears the test results of limit.
dmm.limit[Y].clear()
This function clears the test results limit.
dmm.limit[Y].high.fail (on page 9-95)
dmm.limit[Y].low.fail (on page 9-96)
To clear the test results for both the high and low limit 2:
dmm.limit[2].clear()
