Input Range
The signal operating ranges (input ranges) of the 53210A counter are ± 5.0V, ±
50V,and ± 500V and are dependent on the probe factor. The range is set using the
command:
INPut[1]:RANGe {<range>|MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault}
INPut[1]:RANGe? [{MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault}]
When a 1:1 probe factor is selected (see
ranges are 5.0V and 50.0V. When a 10:1 probe factor is selected the available
ranges are 50.0V and 500.0V.

Using Auto Scale
For input signals greater than 100 Hz, Auto Scale detects the signal on the input
channel and sets the range to 5V or 50V depending on the amplitude. Auto Scale
is not the same as an instrument preset which sets a default range of 5V.
