*RST Condition: VOLT:RANG:AUTO ON
Example Disabling Autoranging
VOLT:RANG:AUTO OFF !Disable autorange.
VOLTage:RANGe:AUTO?
[SENSe:]VOLTage:RANGe:AUTO? returns a number to show whether the
autorange mode is enabled or disabled: "
1" = ON, "0" = OFF. The value is sent to
the output buffer.
Example Querying the Autorange Mode
VOLT:RANG:AUTO OFF !Disable autorange.
VOLT:RANG:AUTO? !Query multimeter to return autorange
mode.
enter statement !Enter value into computer.
VOLTage:RESolution
[SENSe:]VOLTage:RESolution <resolution> selects the resolution for AC and DC
voltage measurements.
For a complete listing of range and resolution values available, see
Table 5-1 on page 120.
Parameters

Comments •
MINimum
selects the best resolution (the smallest value from Table 5-1) for the
selected range.
MAXimum selects the worst resolution (the largest value from
Table 5-1) for the selected range.
• You must select a range using VOLTage: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 aperture time using
VOLT:APERture.
• To achieve the specified resolution, the multimeter will increase the integration
time as needed. This command overrides the results of previously executed
VOLTage:APERture and VOLTage:NPLC commands (the last command executed
has priority).
