Details
This command sets the 4210-CVU for auto range measurements. When setauto is called, the CVU
goes to the most sensitive range to make the measurement. Calling devint also selects autorange.
You can also use the rangei command to enable autorange, or select a fixed measurement range.
Autorange remains enabled until a fixed range is selected.
Example
Programming examples (on page 13-194) 2 through 5 use auto range for impedance measurements.

setfreq
This command sets the frequency for the AC drive.
Usage
int setfreq(int instr_id, double frequency);
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the 4210-CVU:
CVU1
frequency
Frequency of the AC drive
Details
This command sets the frequency of the AC drive. The 4210-CVU provides test frequencies from
1 kHz to 10 MHz in the following steps:
• 1 kHz through 10 kHz in 1 kHz steps
• 10 kHz to 100 kHz in 10 kHz steps
• 100 kHz to 1 MHz in 100 kHz steps
• 1 MHz to 10 MHz in 1 MHz steps
If an entered value is not a supported frequency, the closest supported frequency is selected (for
example, 15 kHz input selects 20 kHz). You can use the getstatus command to retrieve the
selected frequency value.
AC drive (AC voltage level and frequency) does not turn on until a measurement is made. AC drive
turns off after the measurement is completed. The DC voltage source stays on for the whole test.
Example
Programming examples (on page 13-194) 1, 2, 4 and 5 use the setfreq command to set the AC
drive frequency.
