Setting the Current Measurement Range
(Vertical Scale, RANGE Knob)
This section explains how to set a fixed range.
(If Auto Range in the I menu is set to ON, the measurement range changes depending on the
amplitude of the input signal.)
Direct Input Measurement Range Settings
(When Ext Sensor is set to OFF)
Turn the
RANGE
knob to set the current measurement range.
• Select from 10mA, 20mA, 50mA, 100mA, 200mA, 500mA, 1A, 2A, and 5A.
• Auto Range in the I menu is set to OFF.
• If you turn the RANGE knob when waveform acquisition is stopped, two values are shown on the
measurement range screen. The upper value is the measurement range for the displayed waveforms.
The lower value is the measurement range that you have specified. The new range will be applied the
next time waveform acquisition is started.
• If you do not operate the RANGE knob for approximately 3 seconds, the measurement range that you
are setting with the knob will disappear from the screen.
When the displayed waveform’s measurement range and the measurement range
that you have set are the same, only the bottom row is displayed.
Top row: Measurement range for the displayed waveforms
Bottom row: Measurement range that you have specified
Use the RANGE knob to display
the measurement range that is
currently being set.
Range status
Indicates the wiring units.
Display example
When the wiring system is 1P2W
When the wiring system is 1P3W or 3P3W
Because the wiring unit is separate for each element,
set the measurement range of each element.
Element 1 (CH1, CH2) and element 2 (CH3, CH4) are
grouped into a single wiring unit. Changing the
measurement range of one element will change that of
the other element to the same value.*
* If independent element configuration (see section 1.1)
to ON, you need to set the measurement range for
each element.
