Manual ranging
The range is selected by specifying the expected reading as an absolute value using the
<n> parameter for the appropriate :RANGe command. The Model 2701 will then go to the
most sensitive range for that expected reading. For example, if you expect a reading of
approximately 3V, let the parameter (<n>) equal 3 to select the 10V range.
Auto ranging
The :RANGe:AUTO command is coupled to the command to select range manually
(:RANGe <n>). When auto range is enabled, the parameter value for :RANGe <n>
changes to the automatically selected range value. When auto range is disabled, the
instrument remains at the selected range. When a valid :RANGe <n> command is sent,
auto ranging disables.
