Chapter 4 Features and Functions
General Measurement Configuration
• For frequency and period measurements, the "range" parameter is
used to compute a specific measurement resolution (see the table on
page 203). When specifying a (non-default) resolution, both the range
and resolution parameters must be specified within the MEASure?
and CONFigure commands. Refer to pages 209 and 213 for examples.
• The MEASure? and CONFigure commands contain an optional range
parameter which allows you to specify the range or autoranging.
• The instrument returns to autoranging when the measurement
function is changed and after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset
(SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the range setting.
• Front-Panel Operation: First, select the measurement function on
the active channel. You are automatically guided to the next level of
the menu where you can select a specific range or autorange.
100 mV RANGE
• Remote Interface Operation: You can select the range using
parameters in the MEASure? and CONFigure commands.
For example, the following statement selects the 10 Vdc range on
channel 301.
