discrete value for the <resolution> parameter. When auto ranging is combined with a discrete
resolution, the instrument cannot accurately resolve the integration time (especially if the input signal
is continuously changing). If your application requires auto ranging, be sure to specify "DEF" for the
<resolution> parameter or omit the parameter from the command.
— Auto range thresholds:
Down range at:
Up range at:
— If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the selected range (manual ranging), the
instrument gives an overload indication : OL from the front panel or "±9.9E+37" from the remote
interface.
— If the TRIGger:SOURce
IMMediate), triggers the DMM and returns a measurement.
Return Format
The command returns a single reading.
Examples
The following command configures the instrument for AC voltage measurements, triggers the instrument
to take a reading, and then transfers the reading to the instrument output buffer. The default range (auto
range) and resolution (5½ digits) are used for the measurement.
MEAS:VOLT:AC?
Typical Response: +1.86850000E-03
The following command configures the instrument for AC voltage measurements, triggers the instrument
to take a reading, and then transfers the reading to the instrument output buffer. The 1 V range is
selected.
MEAS:VOLT:AC? 1
Typical Response: +4.27150000E-03
