CURRent:AC:RESolution
[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for AC
current measurements. See Table 3-5 on page 71.
Parameters
Comments • MINimum selects the best resolution (the smallest value) for the selected range.
MAXimum selects the worst resolution (the largest value) for the selected
range.
• You must select a range using CURRent:AC:RANGe before specifying
resolution. Also, only specify a resolution when making measurements on a
fixed range. Otherwise, the resolution will change to correspond with the range
selected during autoranging.
• Specify resolution in the same units as the measurement function.
• If autoranging is required, set the resolution using the MIN or MAX parameter.
CURRent:AC:RESolution?
[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:RESolution? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following
numbers to the output buffer:
• The present current resolution selected if MIN or MAX is not specified.
• The minimum current resolution available if MIN is specified.
• The maximum current resolution available if MAX is specified.
