:SENS:PRES:RANG
Applicability:
PACE1000, PACE5000, PACE6000
Command Syntax
:SENSe[x][:PRESsure]:RANGe <string>
where x = 1 or 2 is the module number (default - 1)
Parameter:
<string>
range information
Short form:
:SENS:RANG
Function:
Used to select a range to be sensed.
Query Syntax
:SENSe[x][:PRESsure]:RANGe?
where x = 1 or 2 is the module number (default - 1)
Short form:
:SENS:RANG?
Function:
Asks for currently sensed range.
Response:
A string (number), representing the selected pressure range in pressure
units.
example: 3.50 barg
Description
This command selects the pressure range to be used for returning the pressure reading, also
see the SOURCe:RANGe command.
Note:
The command parameter, "4.50bara", has to be typed exactly. It is case-sensitive and not
typo-error tolerant. The command does not affect on instrument front-panel display. Use
:SOUR:PRES:RANG to change front-panel range display. (See instrument user’s manual).
Example 1
Ranges of module2 can be found by the query:
TX> :INST:CAT2:ALL?
RX> :INST:CAT2:ALL "3.50barg","BAROMETER","4.50bara"
This shows that module2 has three ranges.
Example 2
The current range selected by module2 can be found by the query:
TX> :SENS2:PRES:RANG?
RX> :SENS2:PRES:RANG "3.50barg"
Example 3
To select a different range of module 2 use the command:
TX> :SENS2:PRES:RANG "4.50bara"
Selection confirmed by query:
TX> :SENS2:PRES:RANG?
RX> :SENS2:PRES:RANG "4.50bara"
