[SENSe:]{RESistance|FRESistance}:RANGe:AUTO {OFF|ON|ONCE}
[SENSe:]{RESistance|FRESistance}:RANGe:AUTO?
Disables or enables autoranging for all resistance measurements. Autoranging is convenient because it automatically
selects the range for each measurement based on the input signal. Specifying ONCE performs an immediate autorange
and then turns autoranging off.
This parameter is common to 2-wire and 4-wire resistance measurements. Using the FRESistance version
of this command or query is identical to using the RESistance version.
Parameter Typical Return
{ON|1|OFF|0}, default ON 0(OFF)or1(ON)
Configure 2-wire resistance measurements and perform an immediate autorange. Make and read two
measurements:

Typical Response: +1.04530000E+03,+1.04570000E+03
l Autoranging goes down a range at less than 10% of range and up a range at greater than 120% of range.
l With autoranging enabled, the instrument selects the range based on the input signal.
l Selecting a fixed range ([SENSe:]<function>:RANGe) disables autoranging.
l This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (*RST) or Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet).
