Re: need a word for "ranging"

[Gene Kim-Eng <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

The behavior you're describing is called "auto-ranging," in which the 
settings of a device are automatically adjusted based on various inputs.

"Ranging" refers to the process by which a distance or set of values is 
determined.

The problem with "variable" is that it doesn't reflect the fact that the 
settings are being changed automatically.
