:CHANnel<n>:RANGe
(see page 798)
Command Syntax
:CHANnel<n>:RANGe <range>[<suffix>]
<range> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format
<suffix> ::= {V | mV}
<n>::={1|2|3|4}forthefour channel oscilloscope models
<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models
The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe command defines the full- scale vertical axis of
the selected channel. When using 1:1 probe attenuation, legal values for
the range are shown in the following table.
If the probe attenuation is changed, the range value is multiplied by the
probe attenuation factor.
Query Syntax
:CHANnel<n>:RANGe?
The :CHANnel<n>:RANGe? query returns the current full- scale range
setting for the specified channel.
Return Format
<range_argument><NL>
<range_argument> ::= vertical full-scale range value in NR3 format

Example Code
' CHANNEL_RANGE - Sets the full scale vertical range in volts. The
' range value is 8 times the volts per division.
myScope.WriteString ":CHANNEL1:RANGE 8" ' Set the vertical range to
8 volts.
