HP WaterSkis E1312A, WaterSkis E1412A manual VOLTageACRANGe?

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

Example Query the Resolution

RES:RES 10E-03	Set resolution to 10 mΩ.
RES:RES?	Query multimeter to return the present resolution.
enter statement	Enter value into computer.

VOLTage:AC:RANGe

[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:RANGe <range> selects the range for AC-coupled RMS voltage measurements.

Comments •

•MIN selects the minimum range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe command: 100mV. MAX selects the maximum range available: 300V.

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

•Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode setting

VOLT:AC:RANG:AUTO OFF.

•The VOLT:AC:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous CONFigure command specifying the same function. With the new range, a new resolution is also selected.

•*RST Condition: VOLT:AC:RANG 10V

Example Change the Range

CONF:VOLT:AC 01.05,MAX	Function: AC volts; range selected: 10V.
VOLT:AC:RANG 1	Range selected: 1V.

VOLTage:AC:RANGe?

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

•The present voltage range selected if MIN or MAX is not specified. Only the ranges available with the RANGe command are returned. For example, if CONFigure selects the 10V range, 10V is the range returned.

•The minimum voltage range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe command (100mV) if MIN is specified.

•The maximum voltage range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe command (300V) if MAX is specified.
