[SENSe:]RESistance:RANGe? [MIN | MAX] returns one of the following numbers
to the output buffer:
The present resistance range is selected if
MIN or MAX is not specified. Only the ranges
available with the
RANGe command are returned. For example, if CONFigure selects
the 232 Ω range,
256 Ω is the range returned.
The minimum resistance range available (256 Ω) if
MIN is specified.
The maximum resistance range available (1048576 Ω) if
MAX is specified.

Comments • You can substitute decimal values for the OFF ("0") and ON ("1") parameters.
• When autoranging is ON, the multimeter samples the input before each
measurement and selects the appropriate range.
• If you explicitly select a range using RESistance:RANGe, autoranging is turned OFF.
• In order to specify an aperture time of 10 µs, you must select a fixed range
(
RESistance:RANGe:AUTO OFF, for example).

*RST Condition: RES:RANG:AUTO ON
Example Disabling Autoranging
