:SOURce:RANGe
Function
Sets or queries the voltage, current, or resistance
range.
Syntax
:SOURce:RANGe {<
Voltage
>|<
Current
>|<
Resi
stance
>}
:SOURce:RANGe?
<Voltage>: 100mV, 1V, 10V, 100V, 1000V
<Current>: 100uA, 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, 1A,
10A, 30A
<Resistance>: 400OHM
Example
:SOURCE:RANGE 1V
:SOURCE:RANGE?
-> :SOURCE:RANGE 1.0E+00
Description • Before setting <Voltage>, use the
:SOURce:FUNCtion command to set the
source function to VOLTage.
Before setting <Current>, use the
:SOURce:FUNCtion command to set the
source function to CURRent.
Before setting <Resistance>, use the
:SOURce:FUNCtion command to set the
source function to RESistance.
If you set range of a different source function, a
“131: Invalid suffix” error will occur.
• If the source function is TCouple, RTD,
RJTemp and you set the range, a “221: Setting
conflict” error will occur. 9.91E+37 is returned
as a response to a query.
• If you change the range, the output turns off.
:SOURce:READ? [DUAL]
Function
Queries the output value.
Syntax
:SOURce:READ?
