:CURRent:AC

CONFigure:CURRent:AC [<range>MINMAXDEFAUTO

[,<resolution>MINMAXDEF]] selects the AC current function and allows you to specify the measurement range and resolution. See the range versus resolution table at the beginning of this chapter for valid resolution choices for each ac current range.

Parameters


Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Units

<range>	numeric	1A3A	A
		MINMAXDEFAUTO

<resolution>	numeric	resolution	A
		MIN MAX DEF

Comments • To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s maximum expected current. The multimeter then selects the correct range that will accept the input.

•The AUTO or DEFault option for the range parameter enables autorange.

•The MIN and MAX parameters select the minimum or maximum values for range and resolution:

For range: MIN = 1A; MAX = 3A

For resolution: MIN selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range. MAX selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected range. See Table 3-5 on page 71 for resolution choices.

•To select autorange, specify DEF for range or do not specify a value for the range and resolution parameters (see next bullet comment). In the autorange mode, the multimeter samples the input signal before each measurement and selects the appropriate range.

•To specify the MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify the AUTO or DEF parameter for range and specify MIN or MAX e.g.,

CONF:CURR:AC DEF,MIN or CONF:CURR:AC DEF,MAX or CONF:CURR:AC AUTO,MIN or CONF:CURR:AC AUTO,MAX (you cannot omit the range parameter DEF or AUTO). This prevents the MIN or MAX resolution from being interpreted as a range setting.

Example Making AC Current Measurements

CONF:CURR:AC 3,MAX	Function: dc current; range selected: 3A;
SAMP:COUN 3	MAX resolution: 0.3 mA.
SAMP:COUN 3	Take 3 readings; trigger source is IMMediate
READ?	by default.
READ?	Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state and
	make measurements; send readings to output
enter statement	buffer.
enter statement	Enter readings into computer.
