Safety Notices CAU T ION A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to the product or loss of important data. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met. Manual Part Number 34401-90004 Edition Seventh Edition. [. . . ] {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make a dc current measurement with the specified range and resolution. The reading is sent to the output buffer. 117 Chapter 4 Remote Interface Reference The MEASure?{<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make an ac current measurement with the specified range and resolution. {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make a 2-wire ohms measurement with the specified range and resolution. {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make a 4-wire ohms measurement with the specified range and resolution. {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make a frequency measurement with the specified range and resolution. For frequency measurements, the multimeter uses one "range" for all inputs between 3 Hz and 300 kHz. With no input signal applied, frequency measurements return "0". {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and make a period measurement with the specified range and resolution. For period measurements, the multimeter uses one "range" for all inputs between 0. 33 seconds and 3. 3 µsec. With no input signal applied, period measurements return "0". Query the multimeter's present configuration and return a quoted string. 120 Chapter 4 Remote Interface Reference Measurement Configuration Commands Measurement Configuration Commands See also "Measurement Configuration, " starting on page 51 in chapter 3. The function must be enclosed in quotes in the command string (FUNC "VOLT:DC"). Specify one of the following strings. VOLTage:DC VOLTage:DC:RATio VOLTage:AC CURRent:DC CURRent:AC RESistance (2-wire ohms) FRESistance (4-wire ohms) FREQuency PERiod CONTinuity DIODe FUNCtion?<function>:RANGe {<range>|MINimum|MAXimum} Select the range for the selected function. For frequency and period measurements, ranging applies to the signal's input voltage, not its frequency (use FREQuency:VOLTage or PERiod:VOLTage). <function>:RANGe:AUTO {OFF|ON} Disable or enable autoranging for the selected function. Autorange thresholds: Down range at <10% of range; Up range at >120% of range. Returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON). 4 121 Chapter 4 Remote Interface Reference Measurement Configuration Commands <function>:RESolution {<resolution>|MINimum|MAXimum} Select the resolution for the specified function (not valid for frequency, period, or ratio). Specify the resolution in the same units as the measurement function, not in number of digits. MIN selects the smallest value accepted, which gives the most resolution. MAX selects the largest value accepted which gives the least resolution. [. . . ] For example, suppose you are monitoring a 1 mVdc signal and you want to adjust the level to within ±1 µV. To be able to respond to an adjustment this small, this measurement would require a multimeter with a sensitivity of at least 1 µV. You could use a 61/2-digit multimeter if it has a 1 Vdc or smaller range. For ac voltage and ac current measurements, note that the smallest value that can be measured is different from the sensitivity. [. . . ]
