:CHANnel<n>:RANGe
(see page 530)
Command Syntax :CHANnel<n>:RANGe <range>[<suffix>]
<range> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format
<suffix> ::= {V | mV}
<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models
<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models
The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe command defines the full- scale vertical axis of
the selected channel. When using 1:1 probe attenuation, the range can be
set to any value from:
•16 mV to 40 V.
If the probe attenuation is changed, the range value is multiplied by the
probe attenuation factor.
Query Syntax :CHANnel<n>:RANGe?
The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe? query returns the current full- scale range
setting for the specified channel.
Return Format <range_argument><NL>
<range_argument> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format

Example Code ' CHANNEL_RANGE - Sets the full scale vertical range in volts. The
' range value is 8 times the volts per division.
myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:RANGE 8" ' Set the vertical range to
8 volts.
