Comments
•
To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected resistance. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
•
MIN
selects the minimum range available with the
RESistance:RANGe
command
(256
Ω)
.
MAX
selects the maximum range available (1048576
Ω)
.
•
You must select a range using
RESistance:RANGe
before specifying resolution.
Also, in order to specify an aperture time of 10
µ
s, you must select a fixed range.
•
Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the
RES:RANG:AUTO
command.
•
The
RES:RANG
command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure
command on the same function. The multimeter uses the same aperture time to
set the resolution on the new range as was selected by
CONFigure
.
