max._input
Selects a fixed range or the autorange mode. To select a fixed range, you specify
max._input as the absolute value (no negative numbers) of the input signal's
maximum expected amplitude (or the maximum resistance for ohms
measurements). The multimeter then selects the correct range.
To select autorange, specify AUTO for max._input or default the parameter. In the
autorange mode, the multimeter samples the input signal before each reading
and selects the appropriate range.
