Multimeter Command Reference 141Chapter 3
RESistance:RANGe
[SENSe:]RESistance:RANGe <range> selects the range for 2-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 RESistance:RANGe
command: 100
Ω
.
MAX selects the maximum range available: 100M
Ω
.
• You must select a range using RESistance:RANGe before specifying
resolution. Also, in order to specify an aperture time of 10ms, you must select
a fixed range.
• Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the
RES:RANG:AUTO command.
• The RES: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: RES:RANG 1kΩ
Example Change the Range
CONF:RES 1320,MAX
Function: 2-wire ohms;
range selected: 10k
Ω
; MAX resolution: 1
Ω

RES:RANG 220
Range selected: 1k
Ω
; MAX resolution: 0.1
Ω

READ?
Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state and
make measurements; send readings to output
buffer.

RESistance:RANGe?
[SENSe:]RESistance: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. Only the
ranges available with the
RANGe command are returned. For example, if
CONFigure selects the 900Ω range, 1kΩ is the range returned.
• The minimum resistance range available (100Ω) if MIN is specified.
• The maximum resistance range available (100MΩ) if MAX is specified.
