under MEASURE to select ON or OFF. When the auto
range function is turned ON, the AUTO RANGE key illuminates.
Explanation
Measurement Range Settings and Auto Range
The measurement range setting is determined indirectly by the source range setting and
limiter setting. It is no set directly.
When auto range is turned ON, the GS610 makes a measurement and checks whether a
different range setting is available for making the measurement with the best resolution.
If so, the GS610 changes the range setting and makes the measurement again.
However, it may take time for the GS610 to switch the range setting, and the source
level may become discontinuous.
Note
• The measurement auto range does not operate, and an error occurs in the following
cases.
• If the source mode is set to pulse source.
• If the source and measurement are set to the same function (voltage source and
voltage measurement or current source and current measurement).
• If the limiter tracking is turned OFF.
• If the source and measurement are set to the same function (voltage source and voltage
measurement or current source and current measurement), the limiter range is set equal
to the measurement range setting. Therefore, the limiter range is changed along with the
measurement auto range operation. When the limiter range is changed, the limiter level is
transiently set to 10% of the range setting.
