:CURRent[:DC]?

MEASure:CURRent[:DC]? [<range>MINMAXDEFAUTO

[,<resolution>MINMAXDEF]] selects the DC current function and allows you to specify the measurement range and resolution.

<resolution>	numeric	resolution	A
		MINMAXDEF

Comments • To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s maximum expected current. The multimeter then selects the correct range that will accept the input.

•The AUTO option for the range parameter enables autorange. The DEF option for the resolution parameter defaults the integration time to 10 PLC.

•The DEFault option for the range parameter will also enable autorange. The DEF option for the resolution parameter defaults the integration time to 10 PLC.

•The MIN and MAX parameters select the minimum or maximum values for range and resolution:

For range: MIN = 10mA; MAX = 3A

For resolution: MIN selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range. MAX selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected range.

•To select autorange, specify DEF for range or do not specify a value for the range and resolution parameters. In the autorange mode, the multimeter samples the input signal before each measurement and selects the appropriate range.

•To specify a MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify the

AUTO or DEFault parameter for range as MEAS:CURR:DC? AUTO or

MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF (you cannot omit the range parameter). This prevents the MIN or MAX resolution from being interpreted as a range setting and the resulting command becomes MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF,MIN or

MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF,MAX (or use AUTO in place of DEF).

•Related Commands: FETCh?, INITiate, READ?
