Note

DC currents with AC components cannot be
accurately measured if the DC+AC component
exceed the ADC dynamic range for the selected DC
range. Any current exceeding the ADC dynamic
range will be clipped at the upper/lower range
limit. Under these conditions the range that is
chosen with the Auto range function may be too
small.
