Set and Query the Current Range Setting
Syntax
Command
:CURRent:RANGe <Current range (NR2)>
Query
:CURRent:RANGe?
Response
<Current range (NR2)>
<Current range (NR2)> =
0.001/0.002/0.005/0.01/0.02/0.05/0.1/0.2/0.5/1/2/5/10/20
Description
Command
Sets the current range setting. (The unit used for current is amperes [A].)
NRf numerical values are accepted
Query
Returns the current range setting in NR1 format.
Example
Command
:CURR:RANG 0.2
Query
:CURR:RANG?
Response
(When HEADER ON)
:CURRENT:RANGE 0.2
(When HEADER OFF)
0.2
Note
・
Do not append a unit to the current range.
・
After you the change the range, wait a few moments until the internal circuitry stabilizes
before you read any measurement values.
・
If a range is specified, the auto range operation is turned OFF.
Range select will be turned
ON.
・
If the number of times to perform averaging is set to any value other than 1 and the range
is changed, averaging is restarted.
・
If any value other than <Current range (NR2)> is specified, the set value will be set to the
range that can be measured.
However, if the specified value exceeds the full scale of the range, the next highest range
will be set instead.
・
If a negative value is specified, the absolute value will be used.
・
You cannot change this setting during integration, while the display is held.
・
If you are using a current sensor, use the
:CURRent:EXTRange(?)
command.
・
:CURRent:RANGe(?) performs the same operation.
Set Whether to Select All Auto-range Current Ranges
Syntax
Command
:CURRent:SELect:ALL
ON/OFF
Description
Command
Sets whether to enable use of all current ranges and external current
sensors during auto-range operation and auto-range integration.
Example
Command
:CURR:SEL:ALL ON
Note
・
Use of the 100 mA and 20 A ranges as well as the external current sensor C5A range is
always enabled, regardless of the value of this setting.
・
Specifying a current range with the
“
:CURRent:RANGe
”
command will cause range
select for the specified range to be turned on.
・
You cannot change this setting during integration, while the display is held, or when the
maximum/minimum values are being held.
