6241A/6242 DC Voltage Current Source/Monitor Operation Manual
5.2.5 Measurement Function
5-31
• For *5, measuring with 3 mA range results in a 3.219 mA measurement value. This is over
range (over 3.2 mA), and the auto range changes the range.
Changing the range results in a 30 mA range, and the limiter is also changed to 32.19 mA.
• For *6, measuring with 30 mA range results in a 32.19 mA measurement value. This is over
range, and the range is changed further.
Although changing the range results in 300 mA, this range is set to the value compliant with the
preset 200 mA value.
• For *7, measuring with the 300 mA range results in 100 mA and it is output as the output data.
3. The measurement auto range while sweeping
While sweeping, measurements are performed in each step. If the measurement range is set to auto
range, auto ranging continues until measurement data is determined in each step.
