Operation and Features
Ranging

You can let the digital multimeter automatically select the
range using auto range or you can select a fixed range using
manual range. Autoranging is convenient because the digital
multimeter automatically selects the appropriate range for
each measurement. However, you can use manual range for
faster measurements since the digital multimeter does not
have to determine which range to use for each measurement.
• Autorange thresholds:
Down range at:
Up range at:
• For manual range, if the input signal is greater than the
present range can measure, the digital multimeter gives an
overload indication: "9.9E+37" from the remote interface.
For auto range, the digital multimeter will give an
overload indication "9.9E+37" if the input signal is greater
than the highest measurement range.
• The range is fixed for continuity tests (1 kΩ range) and
diode tests (1 VDC range with 1 mA current source
output).
SCPI Commands
You can set the range using any of the following commands.
CONFigure:<function> {<range>|MIN|MAX|AUTO},
{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
MEASure:<function>? {<range>|MIN|MAX|AUTO},
{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
<function>:RANGe {<range>|MINimum|MAXimum|AUTO}
<function>:RANGe:AUTO {OFF|ON}
<10% of range
>120% of range
