User`s manual

The VOLT:RANG command overrides the range setting from a previous
CONFigure command on the same function. The multimeter uses the same
aperture time to set the resolution on the new range as was selected by
CONFigure.
Related Commands: CONFigure, VOLTage:APERture, VOLTage:NPLC
*RST Condition: Based on the *RST values for the VOLTage:APERture and
VOLTage:NPLC commands.
