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

The AUTO or DEFault option for the range parameter enables autorange. The DEFault option for resolution defaults the integration time to 10 PLC.

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

For range: MIN = 100Ω; MAX =100MΩ

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.

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

To specify a MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify

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