Keysight N7900 models have two current measurement ranges, a high and a low range (see
specifications ).A seamless current ranging function ensures that no data is lost due to range
switching.Seamless ranging is enabled by default.The commands to enable seamless current
measurement ranging are:

Specify the Integration Period
The integration period can be set from a minimum of 102.4 microseconds to a maximum of 60 seconds.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Not available To setan integration period of 600 microseconds:
SENS:ELOG:PER 0.0006
During the integration period, Elog samples are averaged, and the minimum and maximum values are
tracked. At the end of each integration period the average, minimum, and maximum values are added
to the internal FIFO buffer.
Although the absolute minimum integration period is 102.4 microseconds, the actual minimum
depends on the number of measurements that are being logged. The formula is 102.4_microseconds
X #_of_measurements. For example:
102.4 microseconds: 1 measurement (voltage or current)
204.8 microseconds: 2 measurements (voltage and current)
409.6 microseconds: 4 measurements (voltage+min+max+current)
If the specified integration period is at or near the minimum logging intervals, the data format must be
specified as binary. If the REAL format is not specified, the data will be in ASCII format and the
minimum logging intervals will typically be up to five times longer than what can be achieved with
binary format.
