:SENS[c]:CURR[:DC]:NPLC:AUTO?
:SENS[c]:RES:NPLC:AUTO?
:SENS[c]:VOLT[:DC]:NPLC:AUTO?
Enables or disables the automatic NPLC 
function.
mode=1|ON|0|OFF
The automatic NPLC on/off works with 
the automatic aperture on/off set by the 
:SENS:<CURR|RES|VOLT>:APER:AU
TO command. So the last command 
setting is effective for both functions.
