Select measurement range
Notes:
1. You cannot select a current measurement range if sourcing current. Con-
versely, you cannot select a voltage measurement range if sourcing voltage.
Also, autorange cannot be enabled for those source-measure configurations.
The programmed source range determines measurement range.
2. You cannot select an ohms measurement range if in manual ohms (you must
be in auto ohms).
3. The highest current measurement range that can be selected is limited by the
current compliance range. For example, if current compliance is set for 50mA
(100mA range), then the highest available current measurement range is
100mA. Similarly, the highest voltage measurement range is limited by the volt
-
age compliance range.
4. Measurement range limitations:
2400 — With the 200V source range selected, the highest current measure-
ment range is 100mA. With the 1A source range selected, the highest voltage
measurement range is 20V.
2400-LV and 2401 — With the 20V source range selected, the highest current
measurement range is 1A. With the 1A source range selected, the highest volt
-
age measurement range is 20V.
2410 — With the 1kV source range selected, the highest current measurement
range is 20mA. With the 1A or 100mA source range selected, the highest volt
-
age measurement range is 20V.
2420 — With the 60V source range selected, the highest current measurement
range is 1A. With the 1A source range selected, the highest voltage measure
-
ment range is 60V. With the 3A source range selected, the highest voltage
measurement range is 20V.
2425 and 2430 DC Mode — With the 100V source range selected, the highest
current measurement range is 1A. With the 1A source range selected, the high
-
est voltage measurement range is 100V. With the 3A source range selected,
the highest voltage measurement range is 20V.
2430 Pulse Mode — With the 100V source range selected, the highest current
measurement range is 10A. With the 10A source range selected, the highest
voltage measurement range is 100V. Auto range cannot be used in the Pulse
Mode.
2440 — With the 40V source range selected, the highest current measurement
range is 1A. With the 1A source range selected, the highest voltage measure
-
ment range is 42V. With the 5A source range selected, the highest voltage
measurement range is 10.5V.
5. The highest measurement range for the Models 2400-LV and 2401 is 20V.
Selecting a higher range over the bus will generate error -222 (Parameter data
out of range). The SourceMeter will go to the 20V range.
