[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:NPLC {<PLC>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:NPLC? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Sets the integration time in number of power line cycles (PLC) for DC current measurements. Integration time is the
period that the instrument's analog-to-digital (A/D) converter samples the input signal for a measurement. A longer
integration time gives better measurement resolution but slower measurement speed.
On the 34461A, use the [SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals command to specify which current
terminals to use for the measurement.
Parameter Typical Return
{0.02|0.2|1|10|100}, default 10
See Range, Resolution and NPLC for more information.

Configure DC current measurements using a 10 PLC integration time. Then make and read one measurement:
CONF:CURR:DC
CURR:DC:NPLC 10
READ?
Typical Response: +6.27530000E-01
l Only integration times of 1, 10, or 100 PLC provide normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection.
l Setting the integration time also sets the measurement resolution.Resolution Table shows the relationship
between integration time and resolution.
l This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (*RST) or Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet).
