VOLTage:AC:RANGe
[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:RANGe <range> selects the range for AC-coupled RMS
voltage measurements.
Parameters
Comments To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected voltage. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
MIN selects the minimum range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe
command: 100mV.
MAX selects the maximum range available: 300V.
You must select a range using VOLTage:AC:RANGe before specifying
resolution.
Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode setting
VOLT:AC:RANG:AUTO OFF.
The VOLT:AC:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure command specifying the same function. With the new range, a
new resolution is also selected.
*RST Condition: VOLT:AC:RANG 10V
Example Change the Range
CONF:VOLT:AC 01.05,MAX
Function: AC volts; range selected: 10V.
VOLT:AC:RANG 1
Range selected: 1V.
READ?
Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state and make
measurement; send readings to the output buffer.
enter statement
Enter readings into computer.
VOLTage:AC:RANGe?
[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:RANGe? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following numbers
to the output buffer:
The present voltage 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 10V range, 10V is the range returned.
The minimum voltage range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe
command (100mV) if
MIN is specified.
The maximum voltage range available with the VOLTage:AC:RANGe
command (300V) if
MAX is specified.
