VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe <range> selects the range for DC voltage
measurements.
For a complete listing of range and resolution values available, see
Table 5-1 on page 120.

volts
Comments • The [:DC] parameter is optional. Both of the following command statements
select a DC voltage range:
VOLT:DC:RANG <range> or VOLT:RANG <range>
•
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[:DC]:RANGe command:
0.125 V.
MAX selects the maximum DC voltage range available: 300 V.
• You must select a range using VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe before specifying
resolution. Also, in order to specify an aperture time of 10 µs, you must select a
fixed range.
• Specifying a fixed range disables the autorange mode set by the
VOLT:RANG:AUTO command.
• The VOLT[:DC]:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure command on the same function. With the new range, a new
resolution is also selected. However, this resolution is based on the aperture time
set by
CONFigure.
• Changing the DC range changes the AC voltage range to a corresponding value
(the AC range is
7
⁄
10
of the DC range).
• *RST Condition: VOLT:RANG:DC 8.0V
Example Changing the Range
CONF:VOLT:DC 0.85,MAX,(@100:103) !Function: DC volts;
range selected: 0.91 V;
MAX resolution: 61.035 µV; specify
channel list.
