■ Sets the frequency range.
Syntax
FREQuency:RANGe_<NR3>
<NR3>
500.0E+0, 100.0E+3
Function
・ Sets the frequency range. The units are hertz (Hz).
・ <NR3> can be accepted in NRf format, but its effective value will be obtained
by rounding off the sixth digit on the basis of 5 and above being rounded up
and 4 and below being rounded down.
Notes
・ If an invalid value is specified, the specified value is set to a range which can
be measured. If, however, the range full scale value is exceeded, then the next
higher range is set.
・ Units (Hz) cannot be set.
Errors
・
Execution error/ If the setting exceeds maximum range or it is negative value.
・
Command error/ If the setting data is not in NRf format
・ Device dependent error/
① In the event of a system error
② If this command is executed in the hold state (HOLD indicator lit or
flashing)
Example
Transmission
":FREQ:RANG 500.004E+0"
The range is set to 500 Hz by rounding off.
Transmission
":FREQ:RANG 100.0E+3"
The range is set to 100 kHz by rounding off.
