Commands that use the <n> parameter can use the MINimum and MAXimum name parameters. MIN
selects the minimum value and MAX selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to select the function (DCI or ACI), set a measure range, and perform a
measurement:
FUNCtion "CURRent[:DC]" Select the DCI function
FUNCtion "CURRent:AC" Select the ACI function
CURRent[:DC]:RANGe <n> Set the DCI range
CURRent:AC:RANGe <n> Set the ACI range
<n> = -10 to 10 Expected DCI reading
= 0 to 10 Expected ACI reading
CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable autorange for DCI
CURRent:AC:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable autorange for ACI
<b> = 0 or OFF Disable autorange
= 1 or ON Enable autorange
