Subsystem Commands
SENSe Subsystem
:SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|VOLTage[:DC]>:APERture:AUTO?
For <CURRent[:DC]|VOLTage[:DC]>, set CURRent[:DC] for current measurement
or VOLTage[:DC] for voltage measurement. 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]|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]|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]|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles nplc
:SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles? [nplc]
For <CURRent[:DC]|VOLTage[:DC]>, set CURRent[:DC] for current measurement
or VOLTage[:DC] for voltage measurement. Specifying the measurement item is not
important because the nplc value is common for all items.
Parameter nplc value (+4E-4 to +100 for 50 Hz or +4.8E-4 to +120 for 60
Hz)|MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault (default is 0.1 PLC, power
line cycles). Parameter data type is NRf+. Query does not
support nplc=value. If you specify the value less than MIN or
greater than MAX, nplc is automatically set to MIN or MAX.
