130 Keysight 34970A/34972A User’s Guide
– For frequency and period measurements, the "range" parameter is used to
compute a specific measurement resolution (see the Keysight 34970A/34972A
Programmer’s Reference Help for details). When specifying a (non-default)
resolution, both the range and resolution parameters must be specified within
the MEASure? and CONFigure commands. Refer to the Keysight 34970A/
34972A Programmer’s Reference Help for more information.
–The MEASure? and CONFigure commands contain an optional range
parameter which allows you to specify the range or autoranging.
– The instrument returns to autoranging when the measurement function is
changed and after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does
not change the range setting.
– Front-Panel Operation: First, select the measurement function on the active
channel. You are automatically guided to the next level of the menu where you
can select a specific range or autorange.
100 mV RANGE
– Remote Interface Operation: You can select the range using parameters in the
MEASure? and CONFigure commands. For example, the following statement
selects the 10 VDC range on channel 301.
CONF:VOLT:DC 10,DEF,(@301)
