Using SCPI commands
For a current measurement, send the command:
SENSe:CURRent:RANGe:UPPer <n>
Where <n> is the positive full-scale value of the measurement range.
To set for a voltage measurement, replace CURRent with VOLTage.
To set for a resistance measurement, replace CURRent with RESistance.
Using TSP commands
For the current range, send the commands:
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT
smu.measure.autorange = smu.OFF
smu.measure.range = rangeValue
Where rangeValue is the positive full-scale value of the measurement range.
For a voltage measurement, replace smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT with smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE.
For a resistance measurement, replace smu.FUNC_DC_CURRENT with smu.FUNC_RESISTANCE.
