RESistanceRANGeAUTO? | HP WaterSkis E1312A, WaterSkis E1412A

Example Query the Measurement Range

RES:RANG 100	Select 100Ω range.
RES:RANG?	Query multimeter to return the present range.
enter statement	Enter value into computer.

RESistance:RANGe:AUTO

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

function for 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 RESistance:RANGe, autoranging is turned OFF.

*RST Condition: RES:RANG:AUTO ON

Example Disable Autoranging

RES:RANG:AUTO OFF

Disable autorange.

RESistance:RANGe:AUTO?

[SENSe:]RESistance: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

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