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

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

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

Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode by setting

VOLT:DC:RANG:AUTO OFF.

The VOLT:DC:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous CONFigure command on the same function.

*RST Condition: VOLT:DC:RANG 300V

VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe?

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

The present voltage range selected if MIN or MAX are not specified. Only the ranges available with the RANGe command are returned. For example, if CONFigure selects the 1V range, 1.0V is the range returned.

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

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