To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal's
maximum expected voltage. The multimeter then selects the correct range to
accept the input.

The
AUTO
or
DEFault
option for resolution defaults the integration time to 10 PLC.

To select autorange, specify
range and resolution parameters. In the autorange mode, the multimeter
samples the input signal before each measurement and selects the appropriate
range.
