Command Syntax
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe <expected value>
Command Parameters
<expected value> = 0.0 V through ±300.0 V | DEF | MIN | MAX
*RST Value
Autoranging
Query Syntax
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe? [<MIN | MAX>]
Query Parameters
<MIN> = Causes the query to report the minimum value (0.0 V)
<MAX> = Causes the query to report the maximum value (±300.0 V)
Query Response
0.0 V through ±300.0 V
Description
This command selects the range for dc voltage measurements. To select a standard
measurement range, specify the
expected value
of the input signal's maximum expected
voltage. The multimeter then selects the correct range. MINimum selects 0.0 V and
MAXimum selects ±300.0 V.
This command overrides any setting by a previous CONFigure command specifying the
same function. With the new range, a new resolution is also selected; however, this
resolution is based on the aperture time set by the CONFigure command. Specifying a
fixed range also disables the autorange mode.
