Subsystem Commands
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles:AUTO
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.
The NPLC value can be expressed by the following formula, using the integration
time set by the
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:APERture
command. So the last command setting is effective for both nplc and time.
nplc = time  power line frequency
Query response nplc <newline>
nplc returns the present setting of the number of power line cycles. If a parameter is
specified, nplc returns the value assigned to DEF, MIN, or MAX. Response data
type is NR3.
Example :SENS:CUR:NPLC 0.2
:SENS2:CURR:DC:NPLC?
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:
NPLCycles:AUTO
Enables or disables the automatic NPLC function.
Syntax :SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles:AUTO mode
:SENSe[c]:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:NPLCycles: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 1|ON|0|OFF (default). Parameter data type is boolean.
mode=0 or OFF disables the automatic NPLC function.
mode=1 or ON enables the automatic NPLC function. If this function is enabled, the
instrument automatically sets the NPLC value (integration time) suitable for the
measurement range.
The automatic NPLC on/off works with the automatic aperture on/off set by the
:SENSe:<CURRent[:DC]|RESistance|VOLTage[:DC]>:APERture:AUTO
command. So the last command setting is effective for both functions.
