Set and Query the Resistance Measurement Range
Syntax
Command
:RESistance:RANGe < 0 to 3100>
Query
:RESistance:RANGe?
Response < measurement range (NR3)>
< measurement range (NR3)> = 3.0000E-3/ 30.000E-3/ 300.00E-3/
3.0000E+0/ 30.000E+0/ 300.00E+0/ 3.0000E+3
Example
Command
:RES:RANG 120E-3
Selects the most suitable resistance measurement range for measur-
ing 120 m
Ω.
Query
Response
:RES:RANG?
300.00E-3
The current resistance measurement range is 300 mΩ.
Note
Changing the resistance measurement range clears stored measurement data
(memory function).

Syntax
Command
:VOLTage:RANGe <-300 to 300>
Query
:VOLTage:RANGe?
Response < measurement range(NR3)>
<measurement range(NR3)>
= 6.00000E+0/ 60.0000E+0/ 300.000E+0
Example
Command
:VOLT:RANG 15
Selects the voltage measurement range for measuring 15 V.
Query
Response
:VOLT:RANG?
60.0000E+0
The voltage measurement range is fixed at 60 V (single range).
