selects the
DC voltage function and allows you to specify the range and resolution. If you
specify a channel list, those multiplexer channels are scanned.
For a complete listing of range and resolution values available, see

Comments
•
The
:DC
parameter is optional. Both of the following command statements select
the DC voltage function:
CONF:VOLT:DC
or
CONF:VOLT
•
To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected voltage. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
•
The
AUTO
and
DEFault
options for the range parameter have the same effect
(enable autorange). The
DEF
option for the resolution parameter defaults the
integration time to 1 PLC.
•
The
MIN
and
MAX
parameters select the minimum or maximum values for range
and resolution:
For range:
MIN
= 0.113 V;
MAX
= 300 V.
For resolution:
MIN
selects the best resolution (the smallest value from Table 5-1) for
the selected range.
MAX
selects the worst resolution (the largest value from Table 5-1)
for the selected range.
•
The channel list is of the form (
@ccnn)
,
(@ccnn,ccnn)
, or
(@ccnn:ccnn
), where
cc
= card number and
nn
= channel number (105 is channel 05 of card number 1,
for example).
•
To select autorange, specify
AUTO
(or
DEFault
) for range or do not specify a
value for the parameter. 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
CONF:VOLT:DC AUTO
or
CONF:VOLT:DC DEF
(you cannot omit the range
