a. Negative range values are available for the functions used to start or execute measurements. The
negative values set the ranging mode to the fix, not the limited auto.
b. SMU uses the optimum range to force/measure voltage or current.
c. SMU uses the optimum range to force/measure voltage or current. Then, the SMU never uses
the range less than the specified range.
