How to Choose the Range Mode
N O TE
For a Dual Power Sensor, you cannot set the range mode of the slave channel,
channel 2, directly. By default, the range mode of the slave channel, channel 2, is
the same as that for the master channel, channel 1. See Table 2 on page 90 for
more details.
You can choose either of two ranging modes from the Range mode menu:
• <Auto>, the auto-ranging mode, ensures that the result has a displayed value
between 9% and 100% of full scale. The default state is for automatic ranging
to be enabled.
• <Manual>, which allows you to set a user-defined range.
