432 N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe:AUTO <boolean>
This command is only valid when used with an E-Series power sensor or N8480
Series power sensor (excluding Option CFT). Its purpose is to enable and disable
autoranging. When autoranging is ON, the power meter selects the best
measuring range for the measurement. When autoranging is set to OFF, the power
meter remains in the currently set range.
The [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe command disables autoranging.
If INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce is set to IMMediate, the
range tracks the input power if [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe:AUTO is ON.
If the power meter is not making measurements then autoranging only occurs
when the power meter is triggered.

Example
