7.2.5.4 [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe
Description:
Select a fixed range for AC and DC current measurements. Select a fixed measurement range for AC
or DC current measurement on the 3 A terminal. For digital multimeter with a 10A range, you cannot use this
command to select a 10A range. Please use the directive 7.3.5.5
Syntax:
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: RANGe {<range>|MIN|MAX}
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: RANGe? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Parameters:
<range>: {100u|1m|10m|100m|1|3}. Default: AUTO
Example:
CURRent: AC: RANG 100m
7.2.5.5 [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe:AUTO
Description:
Autoranging for AC and DC current measurements
The autoranging range can be adjusted down to less than 10% of the range and can be adjusted upwards to more
than 120% of the range.
Syntax:
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: RANGe: AUTO {ON|OFF}
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: RANGe: AUTO?
Parameters:
{ON|1|OFF|0}
Example:
CURR:AC:RANG:AUTO ON
7.2.5.6 [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals
Description:
Enable or disable autoranging for AC and DC current measurements
The autoranging range can be adjusted down to less than 10% of the range and can be adjusted upwards to more
than 120% of the range.
Syntax:
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: TERMinals {3|10}
[SENSe:] CURRent: {AC|DC}: TERMinals?
Parameters:
{3|10}
Example:
CURR:AC:TERM 10
7.2.5.7 [SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:NPLC
Description:
Sets the integration time in terms of the number of power line cycles (PLC) for DC current
measurement. The integration time is the period during which the instrument's analog-to-digital (A/D) converter
measures the input signal samples. A longer integration time gives a higher measurement resolution, but the
measurement speed is slower.
Syntax:
[SENSe:] CURRent[:DC]:NPLC {<plc>|MIN|MAX}
[SENSe:] CURRent[:DC:]NPLC? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Parameters:
<plc>:{0.02|0.2|1|10|100}
Example:
CURR: NPLC 1
