Notes:
-
The auto_ctrl command controls an instrument that has multiple ranges associated with it. The command is used to start and stop instrument control, put the instrument into fixed or automatic mode, and select a fixed range if in fixed mode.
The auto_ctrl command requires that an auto_range specification file exists that defines what the ranges are and how to select them. See auto range specifications for details on this specification file. Use the errs command to check for errors after using this command.
