Available range values
a b
a. For the functions to start or execute measurement, negative range values are available. The neg-
ative values set the ranging mode to the fix, not the limited auto.
b. For the functions to start or execute the measurement that uses the pulse source, set 0 or positive
value to set the minimum range that covers the compliance value automatically.
