The GDM-8200A series automatically translates the
command parameter into the closest available value.
Example 1
conf:volt:dc_1 (Sets the measurement
item to DC Voltage and the range to 1V).
the GDM-8200A series selects the 1V
range.
Example 2
conf:volt:dc_2 (Sets the measurement
item to DC Voltage and the range to 2V).
There is no 2V range so the
GDM-8200A series selects the closest
range, 10V.
