:VOLTage[:DC]
CONFigure:VOLTage[:DC] [<range>[,<resolution>]] [,<channel_list>] selects the
DC voltage function and allows you to specify the range and resolution. If you
specify a channel list, those multiplexer channels are scanned.
For a complete listing of range and resolution values available, see
Table 5-1 on page 120.

Comments • The :DC parameter is optional. Both of the following command statements select
the DC voltage function:
CONF:VOLT:DC
or CONF:VOLT
• To select a standard measurement range, specify range as the input signal’s
maximum expected voltage. The multimeter then selects the correct range.
• The AUTO and DEFault options for the range parameter have the same effect
(enable autorange). The
DEF option for the resolution parameter defaults the
integration time to 1 PLC.
• The MIN and MAX parameters select the minimum or maximum values for range
and resolution:
For range:
MIN = 0.113 V; MAX = 300 V.
For resolution:
MIN selects the best resolution (the smallest value from Table 5-1) for
the selected range.
MAX selects the worst resolution (the largest value from Table 5-1)
for the selected range.
• The channel list is of the form (@ccnn), (@ccnn,ccnn), or (@ccnn:ccnn), where
cc = card number and nn = channel number (105 is channel 05 of card number 1,
for example).
• To select autorange, specify AUTO (or DEFault) for range or do not specify a
value for the parameter. In the autorange mode, the multimeter samples the input
signal before each measurement and selects the appropriate range.
• To specify a MIN or MAX resolution while autoranging, you must specify
CONF:VOLT:DC AUTO or CONF:VOLT:DC DEF (you cannot omit the range
