Remote Interface Operation

The automatic input resistance mode can be enabled / disabled. With

AUTO OFF (default), the input resistance is fixed at 10MΩ for all ranges.

With AUTO ON, the input resistance is set to >10GΩ for the three lowest

DC voltage ranges (100mV, 1V and 10V). Use the following command

from your PC terminal to disable the auto input DC resistance setting

(the result is a fixed input DC resistance at 10M Ω for all

measurements.)

INPut:IMPedance:AUTO {OFF | ON}

4.1.5 Threshold Resistance (Continuity)

Definition

When testing continuity, the beeper goes off when the measured

resistance is less than the threshold resistance. The threshold resistance

can be set to any value between 1Ω and 1000Ω.

Default

The factory default for continuity threshold resistance is 10Ω. User’s

selection is stored in a volatile memory and the default value will be

restored after the meter has been turned off.

How to set the threshold resistance

User can change the threshold resistance only through the front panel.
