MEASure:RESistance? [<expected value>[, <resolution>]]
Query Parameters
<expected value>
= 0 Ω through 20 MΩ | AUTO | DEF | MIN | MAX
<resolution>

Query Response
numeric
Description
This command selects the 2-wire ohms function. It also allows the user to specify an
expected value and desired resolution. When a specific resistance 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 resistance parameter must be specified first. Valid parameter
combinations are: no parameter, a resistance parameter only, or both a resistance
parameter and a resolution parameter. See the
Resistance Specifications
in Section 1
for allowed range and resolution values. The input parameters are as follows:
Resistance
0 Ω - 20 MΩ
Specific expected resistance value
AUTOmatic
Autoranging
DEFault
