FRESistance:RANGe:AUTO

[SENSe:]FRESistance:RANGe:AUTO <mode> enables or disables the autorange

function for 4-wire resistance measurements.

Parameters


	Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Units

	<mode>	boolean	OFF0ON1	none


Comments	• You can substitute decimal values for the OFF (“ 0”) and ON (“ 1”) parameters.

•When autoranging is ON, the multimeter samples the input before each measurement and selects the appropriate range.

•If you explicitly select a range using FRESistance:RANGe, autoranging is turned OFF.

Example Put 4-wire Resistance Measurements in the Autorange Mode

FRES:RANG:AUTO ON	Autorange is turned on for 4-wire ohms
	measurements.

FRESistance:RANGe:AUTO?

[SENSe:]FRESistance:RANGe:AUTO? returns a number to show whether the autorange mode is enabled or disabled: “ 1” = ON, “ 0” = OFF. The number is sent to the output buffer.

Example Query the Autorange Mode

FRES:RANG:AUTO OFF	Disable autorange.
FRES:RANG:AUTO?	Query multimeter to return autorange mode.
enter statement	Enter value into computer.
