CURRent:AC:RANGe

[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RANGe <range> selects the range for AC current measurements.

Parameters


Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Units

<range>	numeric	1A3AMINMAX	amps

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

•MIN selects the minimum range available with the CURRent:AC:RANGe command: 1A. MAX selects the maximum range available: 3A.

•You must select a range using CURRent:AC:RANGe before specifying resolution.

•Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the

CURR:AC:RANG:AUTO command.

•The CURR:AC:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous CONFigure command on the same function.

•*RST Condition: CURR:AC:RANG 1

CURRent:AC:RANGe?

[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RANGe? [MINMAX] returns one of the following numbers to the output buffer:

•The present current range selected if MIN or MAX is not specified. Only the ranges available with the RANGe command are returned. For example, if CONFigure sets the 3A range, 3A is the range returned.

•

•

The minimum current range available (1A) if MIN is specified.

The maximum current range available (3A) if MAX is specified.

Example Query the AC Current Measurement Range

CURR:AC:RANG 3	Select 3A range.
CURR:AC:RANG?	Query multimeter to return the present range.
enter statement	Enter value into computer.
