higher compliance range, but return to the lower
measure range to obtain a good low current
measurement. This avoids being limited by range
compliance, which would require either a longer
delay time or having to take the current
measurement on a higher current range. This feature
is available only by remote, but parameters are saved
for each source memory location.

<NRf>
Function
Current range holdoff adds the ability to speed up
low-current measurements when sourcing voltage
and measurement current. This feature is only
available when doing source memory sweeps. It will
momentarily set the measure range to the compliance
range to overcome the effects of capacitance by
charging any capacitance on the higher compliance
range, but return to the lower measure range to
obtain a good low current measurement. This avoids
being limited by range compliance, which would
require either a longer delay time or having to take
the current measurement on a higher current range.
This feature is available only by remote, but
parameters are saved for each source memory
location.
<NRf> = Delay in seconds (0 to 999.9999)
Example
:SENSe1:CURRent:DC:RANGe:HOLDoff:DELay 0
