Sense:current:acdc:range - Keysight Technologies 6811C Programming Manual

SENSe:CURRent:ACDC:RANGe

This command sets the current measurement range. There are two current
measurement ranges:
For Keysight 6811C only:
– High Range: 0 through 28.5671 A
– Low Range: 0 through 2.85671 A
For Keysight 6812C and Keysight 6813C:
– High Range: 0 through 57.1342 A
– Low Range: 0 through 5.71342 A
The high range covers the maximum current measurement capability of the
instrument. The low range increases the low current measurement sensitivity by a
factor of 10 for greater accuracy and resolution.
The value that you program with SENS:CURR:ACDC:RANG must be the maximum
rms current that you expect to measure. Based on this value, the instrument will
select the range that gives the best resolution in measuring a sinusoidal waveform
of that rms value. The crossover value of the two ranges is 5.71342 A
(2.85671 A
For Keysight 6811C/6812C/6813C Option 020:
Sets the current measurement range of the selected measurement source (refer to
"SENSe:NSELect"
measurement source, you would put in a value and the ac source will
automatically select the current range. If you are using the Power Analyzer input
with an external current shunt as the measurement source, the crossover value of
the current ranges can be determined with the formula Crossover_Value =
0.05713/Shunt_Resistance. Values greater than the crossover value select the
high current range. Alternatively, you can simply program MIN or MAX to select
the low or high current range.
