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)
