changing). If your application requires auto ranging, be sure to specify "DEF" for the <resolution> para-
meter or omit the parameter from the command.
— Auto range thresholds:
Down range at:
<10% of range
Up range at:
>120% of range
— If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the selected range (manual ranging), the instru-
ment gives an overload indication : "OL" from the front panel or "±9.9E+37" from the remote interface.
Examples
The following program segment configures the instrument for capacitance measurements. The READ?
command places the instrument in the "wait-for-trigger" state, triggers a measurement, and then sends
the reading to memory and the instrument output buffer. The default range (AUTO) and resolution are
used for the measurement.
