(1994) standard. Commands are NON-case sensitive.

translates to Minimum (min) or Maximum
(max) value available.

Automatic
parameter range
selection

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.
