selected value. Also, a valid NPLC value sent using the :NPLC <n> command disables auto
NPLC.
Auto NPLC is also coupled to auto aperture. Enabling or disabling auto NPLC also enables or
disables auto Aperture. Also, a valid aperture value sent using the :APERture command disables
auto NPLC.

AC AC coupling
DC AC+DC coupling
:COUPling? Query currently programmed coupling
This command is used to select the input coupling for the AC, ACV and the FREQ functions.
When AC coupling is selected, a DC blocking capacitor is placed in series with the AC measure-
ment circuit. This removes the DC component from the measurement.
When DC coupling is selected, the blocking capacitor is removed. Subsequent measurements
reflect both the AC and DC components of the signal (AC+DC).
