Subsystem Commands
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles
Syntax :SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:APERture:AUTO mode
:SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:APERture:AUTO?
For <CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>, set CURRent[:DC],
RESistance, or VOLTage[:DC]. Specifying the measurement item is not important
because the mode value is common for all items.
Parameter mode 0|OFF|1|ON (default). Parameter data type is boolean.
mode=0 or OFF disables the automatic aperture function.
mode=1 or ON enables the automatic aperture function. If this function is enabled,
the instrument automatically sets the integration time (NPLC value) suitable for the
measurement range.
The automatic aperture on/off works with the automatic NPLC on/off set by the
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles:AUTO
command. So the last command setting is effective for both functions.
Query response mode <newline>
mode is 0 or 1, and indicates that the automatic aperture function is off or on,
respectively. Response data type is NR1.
Example :SENS:CUR:APER:AUTO 0
:SENS2:CURR:DC:APER:AUTO?
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:
NPLCycles
Sets the number of power line cycles (NPLC) value instead of setting the integration
time for one point measurement.
Syntax :SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles nplc
:SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles? [nplc]
For <CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>, set CURRent[:DC],
RESistance, or VOLTage[:DC]. Specifying the measurement item is not important
because the nplc value is common for all items.
