Attribute Summary:
Description:
This command specifies the type of autorange used by the analyzer when VOLTage:DC:RANGe:AUTO
is ON.
To set the analyzer so it adjusts the input range upward or downward, send
VOLT:DC:RANG:AUTO:DIR EITHer. If the analyzer detects an overload condition it will adjust the
input range up. If the analyzer detects an input signal that has dropped below half the range, it will adjust
the input range down.
To set the analyzer so it adjusts the input range upward and only upward send
VOLT:DC:RANG:AUTO:DIR UP. The analyzer never adjusts the range downward in response to a
decrease in signal amplitude. If the range is too large for the current input signal you must send the
VOLTage:DC:RANGe:AUTO ON command to restart the autorange.
In swept sine instrument mode (INST SINE), the analyzer ignores this command. The analyzer adjusts
the input range upward or downward at each measurement point, depending on the signal level at the
measurement point.
