[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe:AUTO <Boolean>
This command is used with the Agilent E-series power sensors 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 will track 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.
