Details
This attribute is valid for all functions except "continuity" and "nofunction". A nil response
and an error are generated if the command is received when dmm.func is set to either of these
functions.
When auto clear is set to on, limit conditions are cleared automatically after each measurement. If
you are making a series of measurements, the instrument shows the limit test result of the last
measurement for the pass or fail indication for the limit.
If you want to know if any of a series of measurements failed the limit, set the auto clear setting to off.
When this is set to off, a failed indication is not cleared automatically. It remains set until it is cleared
with the clear command.
The auto clear setting affects both the high and low limits.
Example
dmm.func = "twowireohms"
dmm.limit[2].autoclear = dmm.ON
Enables auto clear on limit 2 for two-wire
ohms.
