:CURRent[:DC]?
MEASure:CURRent[:DC]? [<

[,<

selects the DC current function and allows you to
specify the measurement range and resolution.
Parameters
Comments
•
To select a standard measurement range, specify
range
as the input signal's
maximum expected current. The multimeter then selects the correct range that
will accept the input.
•
The
AUTO
option for the
range
parameter enables autorange. The
DEF
option
for the
resolution
parameter defaults the integration time to 10 PLC.
•
The
DEFault
option for the
range
parameter will also enable autorange.
The
DEF
option for the
resolution
parameter defaults the integration time to
10 PLC.
•
The
MIN
and
MAX
parameters select the minimum or maximum values for
range
and
resolution
:
For
range
:
MIN
= 10mA;
MAX
= 3A
For
resolution
:
MIN
selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the
selected range.
MAX
selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the
selected range.
•
To select autorange, specify
DEF
for
range
or do not specify a value for the
range and resolution parameters. In the autorange mode, the multimeter
samples the input signal before each measurement and selects the appropriate
range.
•
To specify a
MIN
or
MAX
resolution while autoranging, you must specify the
AUTO
or
DEFault
parameter for range as
MEAS:CURR:DC? AUTO
or
MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF
(you cannot omit the
range
parameter). This prevents
the
MIN
or
MAX
resolution from being interpreted as a range setting and the
resulting command becomes
MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF,MIN
or
MEAS:CURR:DC? DEF,MAX
(or use
AUTO
in place of
DEF
).
