MEASure:CAPacitance?
Remarks
• You can allow the instrument to automatically select the measurement
• The range is set to autoranging (AUTO) when the <range> parameter
• Autorange thresholds:
• If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the selected
• If a range change is in progress (due to the autoranging setting) when

range using autoranging or you can select a fixed range using manual
ranging. Autoranging is convenient because the instrument decides
which range to use for each measurement based on the input signal.
For faster measurements, use manual ranging on each measurement
(some additional time is required for autoranging since the instrument
has to make a range selection).

Down range at: <10% of range
Up range at: >120% of range
range (manual ranging), the instrument gives an overload indication.
• Positive overload: "+9.900000E+37" or "OL" from the front panel.
• Negative overload: "-9.900000E+37" or "–OL" from the front panel.
you query the instrument, the value "+9.910000E+37" will be
returned. Wait for the instrument to select an appropriate range before
querying the instrument again.
response should be expected from the front panel display. For remote
interface operation, increase the SCPI query timeout value. (Typically >
10000 ms.)
