Multimeter Command Reference 151Chapter 3
VOLTage[:DC]:RESolution
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for DC
voltage 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 VOLTage:DC: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
or select a specific integration time using
VOLTage:DC:NPLC.
• If necessary to achieve the specified resolution, the multimeter will increase
the integration time as needed. This command overrides the results of
previously executed
VOLTage:DC:NPLC commands (the last command
executed has priority).
• The VOLT:DC:RES command overrides the resolution setting from a previous
CONFigure:VOLT:DC:RES command.
• Related Commands: CONFigure, VOLTage:AC:NPLC
• *RST Condition: Based on the *RST values for the VOLTage:NPLC command.

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

Enter readings into computer.
VOLTage[:DC]:RESolution?
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:RESolution? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following
numbers to the output buffer.
• The present resolution selected if MIN or MAX is 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.
