Skipping unnecessary ranges (range select function)
Because the instrument provides a large number of ranges (8 voltage ranges and 14 current ranges), range
switching can be time-consuming, particularly during auto-range operation. If you know which ranges you will
be using before you begin and wish to switch ranges more quickly, you can use the range select function. The
PW3335’s range select function makes it possible to limit range switching to a smaller pool of necessary
ranges by letting you enable the ranges you wish to use and disable the ranges you do not wish to use (i.e.,
the ranges you wish to skip).

The 1,000 V range, 100 mA range, 20 A range, and 5 A range noted on the external current sensor panel
(E.5) cannot be disabled (skipped).
