PXIe-4147/62/63 devices allow configured Voltage or Current levels to be larger than the Level Range when Autorange is enabled.

On the PXIe-4147/62/63, after using a basic sequence with Voltage Level Autorange or Current Level Autorange enabled, the Voltage or Current Level Range is not restored to the configured range. This can cause the configured Voltage or Current Level to be larger than the Level Range.

Workaround:

Explicitly configure the Voltage Level Range or Current Level Range immediately after running a basic sequence.
