How do I Update the Voltage and Current Range on the WT1000/WT2000 Series Instrument Using IEEE488.2 Commands?

To change the voltage range on element 1 to 30 V, send the "CONFIGURE:VOLTAGE:RANGE:ELEMENT1 30V" command to the measuring instrument.
To change the current range on element 1 to the 1 A range, send the "CONFIGURE: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: "CONFIGURE:VOLTAGE:RANGE:ELEMENT1?"
  • To query the current on element 1: "CONFIGURE:CURRENT:RANGE:ELEMENT1?" 

To set/query the ranges on all elements at once, use the following commands:

  1. Voltage global setting
    "CONFIGURE:VOLTAGE:RANGE 30V"
  2. Voltage global query
    "CONFIGURE:VOLTAGE:RANGE?"
  3. Current global setting
    "CONFIGURE:CURRENT:RANGE 1A"
  4. Current global query
    "CONFIGURE:CURRENT:RANGE?"

For information on the voltage and current values that can be set using these commands, please refer to:

WT2010/WT2030 Digital Power Meters

The WT2000 digital powermeter series has been designed with emphasis on basic performance (bandwidth, accuracy, response speed, and noise immunity) from the viewpoint of measurement of electrical quantities. The broad range of functions of these power analyzers enable them to be used in various fields of applications.

Power Analyzers and Power Meters

Measure characteristics of devices that generate, transform or consume electricity. Also called power meters or wattmeters, these devices measure parameters such as true power (watts), power factor, harmonics, and efficiency.
