[SENSe:]VOLTage:{AC|DC}:RANGe {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
[SENSe:]VOLTage:{AC|DC}:RANGe? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Selects a fixed measurement range for AC and DC voltage measurements and DC ratio measurements.
This parameter is not shared between AC and DCmeasurements. The parameters are independent for AC
and DCmeasurements.
The maximum range parameter (MAX) is 1000 V. However, the SAFETY
LIMIT on the front and rear HI/LO input terminals is 750 VAC (rms). The rms
voltage is waveform dependent. A sine wave is limited to 750 VAC (rms), but
a 1000 Vpk square wave is safe. Connection to AC mains power is further
limited to CAT II (300 V). See Safety and Regulatory Information for more
information on the safety features and the safe operation of this instrument.
Parameter Typical Return
{100 mV|1 V|10 V|100 V|1000 V}
AC default: 10 V
DC default: 1000 V

Typical Response: +3.24530000E+01,+3.24570000E+01
l Selecting a fixed range ([SENSe:]<function>:RANGe) disables autoranging.
l If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the specified manual range, the instrument displays the
word Overload on front panel and returns "9.9E37" from the remote interface.
l The instrument is set to the default range, with autoranging enabled ([SENSe:]VOLTage:{AC|DC}:RANGe:AUTO
ON), after a Factory Reset (*RST) or an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet).
