(Range Lock command) Locks in the present 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 showing locked. When RANGELCK is off, this is
equivalent to the softkey range lock showing 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) Returns whether or not 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? returns OFF
Returns OFF when the range for dc volts or dc current is not locked (autoranging
enabled).
