(Range Lock command) Locks in the current range, or selects auto ranging for dc
voltage and dc current single outputs. The range automatically unlocks if the output
function changes, for example from dc volts to dc current. When RANGELCK is on, this
is equivalent to the softkey range lock that shows locked. When RANGELCK is off, this
is equivalent to the softkey range lock that shows auto.
Parameter: ON (Locks the dc volts or dc current range)
OFF (Unlocks the dc volts or dc current range for autoranging)
Example: RANGELCK OFF
Set the range lock off to allow autoranging for dc volts or dc current.

(Range Lock query) Shows if the preset dc volts or dc current single output range is
locked.
Response: ON (range is locked and autoranging is not allowed)
OFF (range is not locked and autoranging is allowed)
Example: RANGELCK? shows OFF
Shows OFF when the range for dc volts or dc current is not locked (autoranging enabled).

(Reference Output query) Shows the current value of the reference when editing the
output (error mode). If not editing the output with the INCR command, the return is 0
(0E+00). The reference value is set with the OUT, NEWREF or MULT commands. To find
which quantity is being edited, use the EDIT? and OUT? commands.
Response: <reference value>
Example: REFOUT? shows 0E+00
Shows 0 when the output is not being edited.
Example: REFOUT? shows 2.500000E-01
Shows .250 when the output is being edited and the reference is, for example, 250 mV.
