Range, Digits, Rate, Bandwidth, And Filter; Range; Measurement Ranges And Maximum Readings - Keithley 3700 series Reference Manual

Range

The range setting is ―remembered‖ by each measurement function. Selecting a function returns
the instrument to the last range setting for that function.
NOTE

Measurement ranges and maximum readings

The range that is selected affects both measurement accuracy as well as the maximum
measurable level. Input values that exceed the maximum readings cause ―Overflow‖ to be
displayed.
Function
DCV (DC voltage)
ACV (AC voltage)

2 (two-wire ohm)
4 (four-wire ohm)
4 OC (four-wire ohm offset
compensated)
4 DRY+ (four-wire ohm
dry circuit)
TMP (temperature)
FREQ (frequency)
PER (period)
