continuously changing). If your application requires auto ranging, be sure to specify "DEF" for the <res-
olution> 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 instru-
ment gives an overload indication : OL (positive overload) or -OL (negative overload) from the front
panel or "±9.9E+37" from the remote interface.
Examples
The following program segment configures the instrument for DC current 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 range) and resolution (5
1/2 digits) are used for the measurement.

The following program segment configures the instrument for DC current measurements. The INITiate
