34970 range and resolution

[Eureka]

Im using a 34970A and im wondering if the resolution can ve controlled while the range is set to Auto.

The EZ Voltage has a case structure for Range, when the Range is Auto, it doesnt allow the user to choose a resolution and it takes the default resolution(5.5). I tried including a case structure within the case structure for "Auto" range. The instrument gives me Error 103.

It basically does not recognize the values set by the user. I saw one thread which talks abot the same issue, is it possible to switch to a different resolution while the range is Auto???

Thank you,

Eureka

I took a look at this thread:

Well, having a case structure and running the non-auto case for "Auto" range does not solve the problem because we multiply the value of the "Range" with the desired number of digits filled with zeros. The value for "Auto" in the array is "0.00" and it throws a value that the instrument cannot recognize.

Hey Eureka,

I am not sure I completly understand the issue you are having.  Can you provide a screenshot with your code and the issue you are seeing.  If you set the device to be in the Auto range mode you may not be able to set resolution values.  I would expect you would be able to find that type of information in the user manual for the device.  Please post back with any additional information or questions.
