FRESistance:RESolution

[SENSe:]FRESistance:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for 4-wire resistance measurements.

Parameters


Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Units

<resolution>	numeric	resolutionMINMAX	ohms

Comments • MINimum selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range. MAXimum selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected range.

•You must select a range using FRESistance:RANGe before specifying resolution. Also, only specify a resolution when making measurements on a fixed range. Otherwise, the resolution will change to correspond with the range selected during autoranging.

•Specify resolution in the same units as the measurement function.

•If autoranging is required, set the resolution using the MIN or MAX parameters or select a specific integration time using FRESistance:NPLCycles.

•*RST Condition: FRES:RES 1mΩ (1E-03)

FRESistance:RESolution?

[SENSe:]FRESistance:RESolution? [MINMAX] returns one of the following numbers to the output buffer:

•The present resolution selected if MIN or MAX are not specified. Only the resolution values available on ranges set by the RANGe command are returned.

•The resolution with the smallest value (i.e., the best resolution) for the selected range if MIN is specified.

•The resolution with the largest value (i.e., the worst resolution) for the selected range if MAX is specified.

Example Query the Resolution
