Seamless Measurements - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

4 Using the Measurement Functions
N6700 Mode
Meter Ranges – These selections match the SCPI range commands. The Auto selection is not
available, as SCPI commands do not support automatic measurement range selection based on
amplitude.
Points - Specify the number of sample points in each measurement.
Time Interval - Indicates the integration time of each measurement.
Window – Specify a Hanning or Rectangular measurement window.
From the remote interface:
In N6700 mode, the Meter View measurement system uses the same measurement settings as the
following SCPI commands. To specify a voltage or current measurement range:
SENS:CURR:RANG <current>,(@1)
SENS:VOLT:RANG <voltage>,(@1)
The range value that you send should be the maximum value that you expect to measure. The
instrument selects the range with the best resolution for the value entered.
You can also specify the points, time interval, and window function:
SENS:SWE:POIN <points>,(@1)
SENS:SWE:TINT <interval>,(@1)
SENS:WIND RECT|HANN,(@1)

Seamless Measurements

Seamless measurement autoranging is available on models N6781A, N6782A, N6785A, and N6786A.
This enables a wide dynamic measurement range with no data lost across ranges
Seamless autoranging does not include the 10 μA range, which must be selected
manually. Seamless autoranging is only available in Meter View when N6700 Mode is
selected in the Front Panel Preferences dialog, located in the Utilities menu.
To enable seamless voltage or current autoranging, press the Meter View key, then press Properties.
In the Voltage or Current dropdown menu, select Auto.
