Range and Measurement Rate Commands and Queries

The commands in Table 5-13 relate to ranging and measurement rates (i.e., readings/ second). In the autorange mode, the meter automatically selects a range for each reading; in the manual range mode, the user selects a fixed range.

Description

Causes the meter to enter the autoranging mode on the primary display. If the autorange mode cannot be selected (e.g., if REL, dB, MN MX, or diode/continuity test is selected), an Execution Error is generated.

Causes meter to return "1" if it is in autorange, or "0" if it is not.

Causes the meter to exit autoranging on the primary display and enter manual ranging. The present range becomes the selected range.

Sets the primary display to the range designated by <range>. <range> is a number between 1 and 7 that corresponds to a range shown in Tables 5-12A and 5-12B.
