Details
This command is primarily intended to eliminate the time that is required by the instrument to select
an automatic range.
The options for <range> are described in the following table.
Measurement function
Concurrent
Current
Voltage
When you select a fixed range, an overrange condition can occur.
When you set a value for the measurement range, the measurement autorange setting is
automatically disabled for the measurement function.
When you read this setting, you see the measurement range that the instrument is presently using. If
you change the range while the output is off, the instrument does not update the hardware settings,
but if you read the range setting, the return is the setting that will be used when the output is turned
on. If you set a range while the output is on, the new setting takes effect immediately. When you
assign a specific value to this command, the instrument is set on a fixed range that is large enough to
measure the assigned value. The instrument selects the best range for measuring a value of
<range>.
