Agilent Technologies 34970A Switch User Manual


 
For frequency and period measurements, the instrument uses one
“range” for all inputs between 3 Hz and 300 kHz. The range parameter
is required only to specify the resolution. Therefore, it is not
necessary to send a new command for each new frequency to
be measured.
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)
