Auto Range Modes
Last Modified: October 21, 2021
When specifying a range for a voltage or current measurement, you can select
Auto or Auto once to measure a signal
when you do not know which range to select. The digital multimeter (DMM) takes a series
of measurements and adjusts the range until the measurement falls within the smallest
range appropriate for that measurement.
- Auto—Takes a reading before each measurement to select the smallest appropriate range.
- Auto once—The first point measured determines the range for the rest of the measurements.
Note
For model-specific considerations when using Auto Range, refer to Configuring Auto Range in NI-DMM documentation.
