1, 2, 3, Set sensor operating range 4 & 5

Remarks: Range 5 is the highest power range, range 1 the lowest. (These are the opposite to the ML2430A native mode ranges; that is, HP 436 range 5 sets to ML2430A range 1, and HP 436 range 4 to ML2430A range 2, etc.)

When the ML2430A is being used to emulate the HP 436, the ranges are reversed; that is, HP 436 range 1 (the lowest power range) is equivalent to the ML2430A range 5, and HP 436 range 5 (the highest power range) is equivalent to the ML2430A range 1. Refer to page 4-6for more information on sensor ranges.
