Query Syntax
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:RANGe? [<MIN | MAX>]

<MAX> = Causes the query to report the maximum value (1.0 A)
Query Response
0.01 | 0.1 | 1
Description
This command selects the range for dc current measurements. To select a standard
measurement range, specify the
expected value
of the input signal's maximum expected
current. The multimeter then selects the correct range. MINimum selects 0.01 A
(10 mA) and MAXimum selects 1 A.
This command overrides any setting by a previous CONFigure command specifying the
same function. With the new range, a new resolution is also selected; however, this
resolution is based on the aperture time set by the CONFigure command. Specifying a
fixed range also disables the autorange mode.
