[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe {< range >|MIN|MAX|DEF}
[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Selects a fixed measurement range for AC or DC current measurements on the 3 A terminals. For DMMs
with a 10 A range, you cannot select the 10 A range with this command; instead,
{AC|DC}:TERMinals 10 or
This parameter setting is not shared between AC and DC measurements. The parameters are independent
for AC and DC measurements.
On the 34461A, 34465A, or 34470A, use the
cify which current terminals to use for the measurement.
<range> : {100 µA|1 mA|10 mA|100 mA|1 A|3 A}. Default: AUTO (autorange).
The 34465A/70A have additional DC current ranges of 1 µA and 10 µA.
Configure AC current measurements using the 1 A range. Make and read two measurements:

Typical Response: +1.04530000E+00,+1.04570000E+00
Selecting a fixed range ([SENSe:]< function >:RANGe) disables autoranging.
l
If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the specified manual range, the instrument dis-
l
plays the word Overload on front panel and returns "9.9E37" from the remote interface.
Unlike CONFigure and MEASure?, this command does not support the 10 A range. Selecting the 10 A
l
terminal with [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals
urements to use the 10 A range, but it does not affect the values of
or [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe:AUTO.
Changing the value of this parameter always changes the measurement resolution. The number of
l
PLCs (NPLC) stays fixed, and this results in a change of resolution in terms of the units of the meas-
urement. For example, if you have a measurement with 1 µA resolution on the 100 mA range, chan-
ging to the 1 A range results in a resolution of 10 µA.
This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (*RST) or Instrument Preset
l
(SYSTem:PRESet).
