Using the range and resolution Parameters
With the
MEASure?
and
CONFigure
commands, you can select the
measurement function, range, and resolution all in one command. Use
the
range parameter to specify a fixed range larger than the expected
value of the input signal. You can set the range parameter to AUTO to
set autoranging.
Use the resolution parameter to specify the desired resolution for the
measurement. Setting the resolution sets the integration time of the
meter. The resolution parameter can be set to any number but the
resulting integration time (NPLC) is one of the following:
< resolution>
Parameter
Integration Time
(NPLC)
< 0.0001 x Range 0.02
< 0.00001 x Range .2
< 0.000003 x Range 1
< 0.0000022 x Range 2
< 0.000001 x Range 10
< 0.0000008 x Range 20
< 0.0000003 x Range 100
< 0.00000022 x Range 200
Specify the resolution in the same units as the measurement function,
not in number of digits . For example, for volts measurements, specify the
resolution in volts. For resistance, specify the resolution in ohms.
You must specify a range to use the resolution parameter.
