Set to Enabled or Disabled to turn the over-ranging feature on
or off.
Over Range
[Over-Ranging Enabled]
This field is only editable when Over-Ranging is set to
Enabled. Set to the desired over range value. This value
cannot be set below the Range value. This is the alternate
scale that is used for the analog output when over-ranging is
active and enabled. When 90% of the standard range is
reached, this over range is automatically entered. When 80%
of the original range is reached, it returns to the original
range.
When Enabled, putting the instrument into any calibration
state other than MEASURE will cause it to continue reporting
the last reported value.
3.4.27.1 Analog Output Menu - Voltage
Main Menu → Communications Menu → Analog Output Menu
These items appear when Output Mode is set to Voltage.
Choices are 0 V, 0.25 V or 0.5 V. This sets the voltage for a
reading of 0. Since the output cannot go negative, this offset
can be used to record negative readings.
Enables the user to calibrate the analog voltage output at a
low point. Increase/decrease the value until the connected
equipment reads 0.5 V (refer to Section 4.4.1.1).
Enables the user to calibrate the voltage output at a full scale
point (5 V). Increase/decrease the value until the connected
equipment reads 5 V (refer to Section 4.4.1.1).
3.4.27.2 Analog Output Menu - Current
Main Menu → Communications Menu → Analog Output Menu
These items appear when Output Mode is set to Current.
Enables the user to set desired current ranges. Choices are
0 - 20 mA, 2 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA.
Enables the user to calibrate the current output at a low point.
Increase/decrease the value until the connected equipment
reads 4 mA (refer to Section 4.4.1.2).
Enables the user to calibrate the current output at a full scale
point (20 mA). Increase/decrease the value until the
connected equipment reads 20 mA (refer to Section 4.4.1.2).
