Remote operation
Commands that use the
<n>
parameter can use the
MINimum
and
MAXimum
name parameters.
MIN
selects the minimum value and
MAX
selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to select the function (DCV or ACV), set a measure range, set
resolution, and perform a measurement:
FUNCtion "VOLTage[:DC]"
Select DCV function
FUNCtion "VOLTage:AC"
Select ACV function
VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe <n>
Set DCV range
VOLTage:AC:RANGe <n>
Set ACV range
<n>
= -1000 to 1000
Specify expected DCV reading
= 0 to 750
Specify expected ACV reading
VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO <b>
Enable or disable autorange for DCV
VOLTage:AC:RANGe:AUTO <b>
Enable or disable autorange for ACV
<b>
= 0 or OFF
Disable autorange
= 1 or ON
Enable autorange
READ?
Perform measurement and acquire reading
Measurement configuration commands can also be used to perform measurements. Use the
following commands to select a function (DCV or ACV), set the measure range, set measurement
resolution, perform a measurement, and acquire the reading.
MEASure:VOLTage[:DC]? <range>, <resolution>
MEASure:VOLTage:AC? <range>, <resolution>
<range>
= -1000 to 1000
Expected DCV reading
= 0 to 750
Expected ACV reading
<resolution
> = (see Note)
Measurement resolution
The resolution setting range for
<resolution>
depends on the selected function and range. The
maximum value for DC measurement is 3.00e-04 x full-scale range, and the minimum value is
3.00e-07 x full-scale range. For example, for the DCV 1000 V range, the minimum value is (3.00e-07
x 1000 V = 3.00e-04). The maximum value is (3.00e-04 x 1000 V = 3.00e-01). Therefore,
<resolution>
= 3.00e-04 to 3.00e-01 for the DCV 1000 V range.
The maximum value for AC measurement is 1.00e-04 x full-scale range, and the minimum value is
1.00e-06 x full-scale range. For example, for the ACV 750 V range, the minimum value is (1.00e-06 x
750 V = 7.50e-04). The maximum value is (1.00e-04 x 750 V = 7.50e-02). Therefore,
<resolution>
= 7.50e-04 to 7.50e-02 for the ACV 750 V range.
