| Description |
Not implemented yet
Use this command to reset the amp-hour counter to zero of the specified channel. If channels are coupled (in series or parallel) or in tracking mode, both channel’s counters will be reset to zero. |

5.12.2. SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe[:UPPer]
| Syntax |
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe[:UPPer] {<range>} SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe[:UPPer]? |
|||
| Description | This command selects a DC current measurement range when Power board with multiple current ranges is installed (e.g. r5B12 that can be find out with the SYSTem:CHANnel:MODel? command). The entered value must be higher than the maximum current that you expect to measure. Units are in amperes.
If selected range is lower then measured current, when load is connected, an error -220 will be generated. |

|
| Return | The query command returns the maximum DC current that can be measured on the range that is presently set. | |||
|
Usage example |
SENS:CURR:RANG? 0.5 |
|||
|

5.12.3. SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO
| Syntax |
SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO {<bool>} SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe:AUTO? |
|||
| Description | This command enables/disables current measurement autoranging. Autoranging provides seamless measurement ranging, which results in a wide dynamic range with no data being lost across ranges.
When enabled, this command overrides the SENSe:CURRent[:DC]:RANGe setting. |

Range |
Default |
| <bool> |
Boolean |
ON|OFF|0|1 |
OFF |
|
| Return | The query command returns 0 if current measurement autoranging is OFF, and 1 if current measurement autoranging is ON. | |||
