Range

The power meter has no internal ranges which can be set. The only ranges that
can be set are those of the E-Series power sensor and N8480 Series power
sensors (excluding Option CFT). With an E-Series power sensor or N8480 Series
power sensors (excluding Option CFT), the range can be set either automatically
or manually. Use autoranging when you are not sure of the power level you will be
measuring.
Setting the Range
To set the range manually use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe <numeric_value>
If the <numeric_value> is set to:
– 0, the sensor's lower range is selected. (For example, this range is –70 to
– 1, the sensor's upper range is selected. (For example, this range is –14.5 to
For details on the range limits of other E-Series power sensor and N8480 Series
power sensor (excluding Option CFT), refer to the appropriate power sensor
manual.

To enable autoranging use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe:AUTO ON
Use autoranging when you are not sure of the power level you will be measuring.
