:VOLTage:AC

CONFigure:VOLTage:AC [<range>MINMAXDEFAUTO

[,<resolution>MINMAXDEF]] selects the AC-coupled RMS voltage function and allows you to specify the range and resolution.

Comments • To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s maximum expected voltage. 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:

For range: MIN = 0.1V; MAX = 300V.

For resolution: See Table 3-4 on page 71 for valid resolution choices for each range.

•To select autorange, specify AUTO or 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:VOLT:AC DEF,MIN or CONF:VOLT:AC DEF,MAX or CONF:VOLT:AC AUTO,MIN or

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