Multimeter Command Reference 133Chapter 3
FRESistance:RANGe
[SENSe:]FRESistance:RANGe <range> selects the range for 4-wire resistance
measurements.
Parameters
Comments • To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected resistance. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
• MIN selects the minimum range available with the FRESistance:RANGe
command: 100
Ω
.
MAX selects the maximum range available: 100
ΜΩ
.
• You must select a range using FRESistance:RANGe before specifying
resolution.
• Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the
FRES:RANG:AUTO command.
• The FRES:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure command on the same function. The multimeter uses the same
aperture time to set the resolution on the new range as was selected by
CONFigure.
• *RST Condition: FRES:RANG 1k
Ω
(1E+03)
Example Set Four-Wire Resistance Range to 10M
Ω
FRES:RANG 1E+07
4-wire resistance range is 10M
Ω
.
FRESistance:RANGe?
[SENSe:]FRESistance:RANGe? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following numbers
to the output buffer:
• The present resistance range selected if MIN or MAX is not specified.
• The minimum resistance range available (100Ω) if MIN is specified.
• The maximum resistance range available (100MΩ) if MAX is specified.
Example Query the Measurement Range
FRES:RANG 100
Select 100Ω range.
