2. Measurement Auto Range for the DC Source Mode
This section describes how DC-source-mode-measurement-range and the limiter-range operate using
the following diagram examples.
The current-limiter setting is 200 mA. After measuring 1 mA, the example below measures 100 mA.
While the measurement auto range is enabled, it measures by changing the limiter value to be larger
than the full scale of the measurement range.
• For *1, the measurement result with 300 mA range is 1 mA, and the auto range changes the
range. As a result of the range change to 30 mA, the auto range changes the limiter to the maxi-
mum value for the 30 mA range (32.19 mA).
• For *2, the measurement result with the 30 mA range is 1 mA, the auto range changes the range
and then the limiter changes to 3.219 mA.
• For *3, measuring with the 3 mA range outputs 1 mA measurement data.
• The output current changes to 100 mA at Point y, but the limiter is 3.219 mA and the output cur-
rent is limited to 3.219 mA.
