Details
This command determines how the measurement range is selected.
When this command is set to off, you must set the range. If you do not set the range, the instrument remains at
the range that was selected automatically.
When this command is set to on, the instrument automatically goes to the most sensitive range to perform the
measurement. The instrument sets the range when a measurement is requested.
If a range is manually selected through the front panel or a remote command, this command is automatically set
to off.
Example
RES:RANG:AUTO ON
Set the range to be selected automatically
for resistance measurements.
