Reset timestamp
RESet
:SYSTem:TIME:RESet Reset timestamp
Description This action command is used to reset the absolute timestamp to 0 
seconds. The timestamp also resets to 0 seconds every time the 
Source-Meter is turned on.
Auto reset timestamp
RESet:AUTO <b>
:SYSTem:TIME:RESet:AUTO <b> Reset timestamp when exiting idle
Parameters <b> = 1 or ON Enable auto timestamp reset
0 or OFF Disable auto timestamp reset
Query :AUTO? Query enabled/disabled auto timestamp 
reset state
Description :RES:AUTO enables or disables auto timestamp reset. When 
enabled, the timestamp will be automatically reset when exiting the 
idle layer of the trigger model. This command is intended for use with 
READ?/INIT when taking more than one reading.
Auto range change mode
RCMode <name>
:SYSTem:RCMode <name> Control auto range change mode 
Parameters <name> = SINGle Single mode 
MULTiple Multiple mode
Query :RCMode? Query auto range change mode
Description This command controls the auto range change mode. In the SINGle 
mode, the SourceMeter will auto range only after first taking a read
-
ing. In the MULTiple mode, the SourceMeter will auto range up on 
compliance in the Delay phase of the Source-Delay-Measure cycle, 
thereby minimizing the chance of a SourceMeter being in compliance 
in a multiple-SourceMeter system. A SourceMeter can downrange 
only once a reading has been taken. In the MULTiple mode, you can 
control the soak time using the :SOUR:SOAK command. (See 
“
SOURce subsystem.”) Note that you can use the LLIMIT and 
ULIMIT commands to control auto range limits. (See “SENSe1 sub-
system.”)
