Syntax

[SENSe:]FREQuency:VOLTage:RANGe {<range>|MIN|MAX}[,(@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]FREQuency:VOLTage:RANGe? [{(@<ch_list>)|MIN|MAX}]

[SENSe:]PERiod:VOLTage:RANGe {<range>|MIN|MAX}[,(@<ch_list>)]
[SENSe:]PERiod:VOLTage:RANGe? [{(@<ch_list>)|MIN|MAX}]

Description

These commands select the voltage range for frequency and period measurements on the specified channels.

Used With:

34901A 20 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
34902A 16 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
34908A 40 Channel Single-Ended Multiplexer Module

Parameters

Name Type Range of Values Default Value

<range> Discrete
Desired range in volts:

100 mV (MIN)
1 V
10 V
100 V
1000 V (MAX)
This is a required parameter.

<ch_list> Channel List
One or more channels, as shown:

(@310) - channel 10 on the module in slot 300.

(@305:310) - channels 05 through 10 on the module in slot 300.

(@202:207,209,302:308) - channels 02 through 07 and 09 on the module in slot 200 and channels 02 through 08 on the module in slot 300.
If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the currently defined scan list.

Name	Type	Range of Values	Default Value
<range>	Discrete	Desired range in volts: 100 mV (MIN) 1 V 10 V 100 V 1000 V (MAX)	This is a required parameter.
<ch_list>	Channel List	One or more channels, as shown: (@310) - channel 10 on the module in slot 300. (@305:310) - channels 05 through 10 on the module in slot 300. (@202:207,209,302:308) - channels 02 through 07 and 09 on the module in slot 200 and channels 02 through 08 on the module in slot 300.	If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the currently defined scan list.

Remarks

Selecting a discrete range will disable autoranging on the specified channels.
If the input signal is greater than can be measured on the selected range (manual ranging), the instrument gives an overload indication: "±OVLD" from the front panel or "±9.9E+37" from the remote interface.
The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically enable autoranging if the first parameter is AUTO, DEF or omitted.
Because frequency and period are related functions, changing a measurement parameter for one function will also change the corresponding parameter for the other function.
The instrument enables autoranging after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.

Return Format

The query returns the voltage range in the form "+1.00000000E+01".

Examples

The following command selects the 10 volt range for frequency measurements.

FREQ:VOLT:RANG 10

The following query returns the voltage range selected.

FREQ:VOLT:RANG?

Typical Response: +1.00000000E+01
