This command is used to control auto ranging for voltage. With auto ranging enabled, the instrument
automatically goes to the most sensitive range to perform the measurement.
The auto range command (:RANGe:AUTO) is coupled to the command that manually selects the
measurement range (:RANGe
changes to the automatically selected range value. Thus, when auto range is disabled, the instrument
remains at the automatically selected range. When a valid:RANGe
disables.

Program Commands
The program subsystem is used to control the parameters of the built-in automatic test function.
:PROGram:ACTive:CHANnel
The command is used to specify the active channels for the automatic test function. When a channel is
active, some parameters for the program setup and selec the channel for the test.
Command Syntax PROGram:ACTive:CHANnel
Parameters 0 – 65535
The value, in decimal, is based on the binary
representation of the active channels which are
represented by the bits, according to the following table.
Note: Channel 18-11 represents channels 8 to 1 for
MDL002 extended mainframe.
1 – channel is active.
0 – channel is not active.
