4.5.3 Setting External Range
Figure 4-25 External Range Setup Screen
The 66203/66204 Digital Power Meter has 4 ranges for external measurement, which are
100mVrms/50mVrms/25mVrms/10mVrms and the crest factor (CF) of each range is 4.
Thus, the measureable range for current peak is range×CF.
If the input voltage peak is four times over the range, the display will show Over Current
Range (OCR) warning message and beep. When the signal peak is down to the
measureable range or proper range is selected, the over current range warning message will
disappear automatically.
