Model 2110

5½ Digit Multimeter Reference Manual Section 3:

Basic DMM operation

2110-901-01 Rev. C/August 2013 3-3

Remote operation

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 (DCV or ACV), set a measure range, set

resolution, and perform a measurement:

FUNCtion "VOLTage[:DC]" Select DCV function

FUNCtion "VOLTage:AC" Select ACV function

VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe <n> Set DCV range

VOLTage:AC:RANGe <n> Set ACV range

<n> = -1000 to 1000 Specify expected DCV reading

= 0 to 750 Specify expected ACV reading

VOLTage[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable autorange for DCV

VOLTage:AC:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable autorange for ACV

<b> = 0 or OFF Disable autorange

= 1 or ON Enable autorange

READ? Perform measurement and acquire reading

Measurement configuration commands can also be used to perform measurements. Use the

following commands to select a function (DCV or ACV), set the measure range, set measurement

resolution, perform a measurement, and acquire the reading.

MEASure:VOLTage[:DC]? <range>, <resolution>

MEASure:VOLTage:AC? <range>, <resolution>

<range> = -1000 to 1000 Expected DCV reading

= 0 to 750 Expected ACV reading

<resolution> = (see Note) Measurement resolution

The resolution setting range for <resolution> depends on the selected function and range. The

maximum value for DC measurement is 3.00e-04 x full-scale range, and the minimum value is

3.00e-07 x full-scale range. For example, for the DCV 1000 V range, the minimum value is (3.00e-07

x 1000 V = 3.00e-04). The maximum value is (3.00e-04 x 1000 V = 3.00e-01). Therefore,

<resolution> = 3.00e-04 to 3.00e-01 for the DCV 1000 V range.

The maximum value for AC measurement is 1.00e-04 x full-scale range, and the minimum value is

1.00e-06 x full-scale range. For example, for the ACV 750 V range, the minimum value is (1.00e-06 x

750 V = 7.50e-04). The maximum value is (1.00e-04 x 750 V = 7.50e-02). Therefore,

<resolution> = 7.50e-04 to 7.50e-02 for the ACV 750 V range.
