How do I Update the Voltage and Current Range for the PZ4000 and WT1600 Using Communication Commands?
To change the voltage range on element 1 to 30 V, send the "INPUT:VOLTAGE:RANGE:ELEMENT1 30V" command to the measuring instrument.
To change the current range on element 1 to the 1 A range, send the "INPUT:CURRENT:RANGE:ELEMENT1 1A" command to the measuring instrument.
After entering settings, confirm the settings by sending the following commands:
- To query the voltage on element 1: "INPUT:VOLTAGE:RANGE:ELEMENT1?"
- To query the current on element 1: "INPUT:CURRENT:RANGE:ELEMENT1?"
To set/query the ranges on all elements at once, use the following commands:
- Voltage global setting
"INPUT:VOLTAGE:RANGE 30V" - Voltage global query
"INPUT:VOLTAGE:RANGE?" - Current global setting
"INPUT:CURRENT:RANGE 1A" - Current global query
"INPUT:CURRENT:RANGE?
For information on the voltage and current values that can be set using these commands, please refer to:
