CURRent:AC:RANGe
[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RANGe <range> selects the range for AC current
measurements.
Parameters
Comments • To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected current. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
• MIN selects the minimum range available with the CURRent:AC:RANGe
command: 1A.
MAX selects the maximum range available: 3A.
• You must select a range using CURRent:AC:RANGe before specifying
resolution.
• Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the
CURR:AC:RANG:AUTO command.
• The CURR:AC:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure command on the same function.
• *RST Condition: CURR:AC:RANG 1
CURRent:AC:RANGe?
[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RANGe? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following numbers
to the output buffer:
• The present current range selected if MIN or MAX is not specified. Only the
ranges available with the
RANGe command are returned. For example, if
CONFigure sets the 3A range, 3A is the range returned.
• The minimum current range available (1A) if MIN is specified.
• The maximum current range available (3A) if MAX is specified.
