Description • Set to DC, AC or AC+DC current measurement.
(Only 3801-50: AC+DC)
The function switch is at current measuring.
When measuring DCmA, select the % conversion. Use the
SYST:CPER command to select the 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA
scale.
Parameter • If parameter is omitted, the meter is set to auto range.
• Enter the current measurement range to <range>.
The function switch is at μA measuring: 500
u, 5000u
500
u(510.00 μA), 5000u(5100.0 μA)
The function switch is at mA.A measuring: 0.05, 0.5, 5 or 10
0.05(51.000 mA), 0.5(510.00 mA), 5(5.1000 A), 10(10.000 A)
Example
CONF:CURR:DC : Set to DC current.
CONF:CURR:AC 0.5 : Set to AC current and 510.00 mA
range.
CONF:CURR:PERC : For DCmA measurements, select the
% conversion..
