Measurement Function
4.6.1
Measurement Function
Regardless of the source function, the measurement function can be selected as voltage measurement or
current measurement.
4.6.2
Measurement Ranging
The measurement ranging types and their functions are shown below:
NOTE:
If the source value or limiter value is set to the full-scale value, errors may cause the measurement value
to exceed the full-scale value resulting in Over Range display.

For voltage source current measurement (VSIM) and current source voltage measurement
(ISVM), the measurement range becomes the auto range in which the limiter range is the maxi-
mum range.
For voltage source voltage measurement (VSVM) and current source current measurement
(ISIM), the measurement range is identical with the source range and the auto range does not
function.
