Agilent 6811B, 6812B, 6813B, Only

This command sets the current measurement range. There are two current measurement ranges:

Agilent 6811B

High Range: 0 through 28.5671 Arms ( 40.4 Apeak through + 40.4 Apeak)

Low Range: 0 through 2.85671 Arms ( 4.04 Apeak through + 4.04 Apeak)

Agilent 6812B, Agilent 6813B

High Range: 0 through 57.1342 Arms ( 80.8 Apeak through + 80.8 Apeak)

Low Range: 0 through 5.71342 Arms ( 8.08 Apeak through + 8.08 Apeak)

The high range covers the maximum current measurement capability of the instrument. The low range increases the low current measurement sensitivity by a factor of 10 for greater accuracy and resolution.

The value that you program with SENS:CURR:ACDC:RANG must be the maximum rms current that you expect to measure. Based on this value, the instrument will select the range that gives the best resolution in measuring a sinusoidal waveform of that rms value. The crossover value of the two ranges is 5.71342 Arms. (2.85671 Arms for Agilent 6811B)
