This makes it easy to remember the advanced range commands. Referring to the Operating and Programming Guide, p.87, if the "F1R0" command is sent as in Post #7 this will set the 3421 to DC Volts and the range to, 3*10^0 = 3V. Referring to the manual: ACV sets the 3421 to AC Volts, Autorange ON, Autozero ON, and 4.5 digit resolution. R by itself does nothing and if combined with the 5, which looks like an invalid range command, is ignored. .02 is also ignored. The ACV command will accept a channel list, but those are integers. Garth, since you have HP-IB, are you sure this program isn't for a different instrument as the commands are very different? Q: What HP DMM has a 5V range? Dave |
