SCPI Command Reference
86
Note: All the command syntax listed will set or query the same range value, which will be
determined by the measurement function currently selected on the instrument. Therefore, set
the measurement function first before setting or querying the range.
:AUTO
Command syntax:
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent:AC:RANGe:AUTO
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent:DC:RANGe:AUTO
[:SENSe[1]]:VOLTage:AC:RANGe:AUTO
[:SENSe[1]]:VOLTage:DC:RANGe:AUTO
[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:RANGe:AUTO
[:SENSe[1]]:FRESistance:RANGe:AUTO
Command parameter:
= 1 or ON Enable auto range
0 or OFF Disable auto range
Query:
:AUTO? Query auto range (ON or OFF)
Return String:
1 or 0
Description:
These commands are used to control auto ranging. With auto ranging enabled, the instrument
automatically goes into the most sensitive range (based on the input) to perform the measurement.
The auto range command (:RANGe:AUTO) is coupled to the command that manually selects the
measurement range (:RANGe ). When auto range is enabled, the parameter value
for :RANGe changes to the automatically selected range value. There, when auto range is
disabled, the instrument remains at the automatically selected range. When a valid :RANGe
command is sent, auto ranging disables.
Note: Autoranging is not available for some current AC and DC ranges.
REFerence Command
The REFerence command is a subset to current, voltage, resistance, frequency, and period
measurement commands, of which are part of the SENSe subsystem. The below lists out all the
command syntax for setting REFerence for different measurement functions.
