Multimeter Command Reference 143Chapter 3
RESistance:RESolution
[SENSe:]RESistance:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for 2-wire
resistance measurements.
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 RESistance: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.
• If autoranging is required, set the resolution using the MIN or MAX parameters.
• If necessary to achieve the specified resolution, the multimeter will increase
the integration time as needed. This command overrides the results of
previously executed
RESistance:NPLC or RESistance:APERture command
(the last command executed has priority).
• The RES:RESolution command overrides the resolution setting from a
previous
CONFigure:RESistance command.
• Related Commands: CONFigure, RESistance:NPLC
• *RST Condition: Based on the *RST values for the RESistance:NPLC
command.

RESistance:RESolution?
[SENSe:]RESistance:RESolution? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following
numbers to the output buffer.
• The present resolution selected if MIN or MAX are not specified. Only the
resolution values available on ranges set by the
RANGe command are
returned.
• The resolution with the smallest value (i.e., the best resolution) for the selected
range if
MIN is specified.
• The resolution with the largest value (i.e., the worst resolution) for the selected
range if
MAX is specified.
