Description
This command selects the ac Current function. It also allows you to set parameters for
an expected current and resolution. When a specific current value is specified, the
multimeter will automatically selects the correct range. If autoranging is selected, the
only valid parameters for resolution are
MINimum
or
MAXimum
. To input a
resolution parameter, a current parameter must be specified first. Valid parameter
combinations are: no parameter, a current parameter only, or both a current parameter
and a resolution parameter. See the
AC Current Specifications
in Section 1 for allowed
range and resolution values.
The input parameters are as follows:
<expected value>
0.01 | 0.1 | 1
Specific expected current value in amps
AUTOmatic
Autoranging
DEFault
Autoranging
MINimum
0.01 (0.01 A or 10 mA)
MAXimum
1 (1.0 A)
[no value specified]
Autoranging
Resolution
1e-7 | 1e-6 | 1e-5 | 1e-4
A value specified for resolution
DEFault
1e-5
MINimum
1e-4 (Dependant on range setting)
MAXimum
1e-7 (Dependant on range setting)
[no specified value]
