[SENSe:]<function>:RANGe(?) <n>
Description Sets the range according to the value supplied for n, of the Meter function
specified in the variable <function>. Not having selectable ranges, an error
is returned when using temperature, diode test, or continuity as the function
in the RANGe command. This setting is stored in volatile memory
For the frequency and period functions, the range command value refers to
the signal's input voltage and not the range of the frequency or period
measurement. Also, the word VOLTage must follow the function before
the RANGe command. See examples below.
Parameters <n>
Examples VOLT:RANG 10
CURR:AC:RANG 1e-3 Sets the Meter's ac amps to the 100 mA range.
RES:RANG 20e3
FREQ:VOLT:RANG 5
Query VOLT:RANG?
VOLT:RANG? MIN
RES:RANG? MAX
[SENSe:]<function>:RANGe:AUTO(?) {OFF|ON}
Description Switches the Meter between autoranging and manual ranging. Not having
selectable ranges, an error is returned when the temperature, diode test, or
continuity function is used with the RANGe:AUTO function. This setting
is stored in volatile memory
For the frequency and period functions, the RANGe:AUTO command
refers to the signal's input voltage and not the range of the frequency or
period measurement. Also, the word VOLTage must follow the function
before the RANGe command. See examples below.
Autorange thresholds are set down range with readings <10 % of range
and up range with readings >120 % of range.
Examples VOLT:RANG:AUTO ON Sets the Meter's dc volts to autorange.
CURR:AC:AUTO OFF Sets the Meter's ac amps manual ranging.
FREQ:VOLT:RANG ON Sets the Meter's voltage input to autorange while
Query VOLT:RANG:AUTO?
= value of reading Expected reading in volts, amps or ohms
MINimum Lowest range
MAXimum Highest range
Sets the Meter's dc volts to the 10 volt range.
Sets the Meter's ohms to the 100 kΩ range.
Sets the voltage input range to the 10 volt range
while making a frequency measurement.
Returns the set range for dc volts.
Returns the minimum range of the dc volts
function. (1.00000000E-01 or 100 mV)
Returns the maximum range of the 2-wire
resistance function. (1.00000000E+09 or 1 GΩ)
Note
making a frequency measurement.
Returns the dc volts autorange state. A zero for
off and a one for on.
