[SENSe:]RESistance:NPLC

Syntax

[SENSe:]RESistance:NPLC <PLC|MIN|MAX|DEF>

This command sets the integration time in number of power line cycles (PLCs) for

resistance measurements. Integration time affects the measurement resolution

(for better resolution, use a longer integration time) and measurement speed (for

faster measurements, use a shorter integration time).

[SENSe:]RESistance:NPLC?

This command queries the NPLC settings for resistance measurements.

Parameter

Remarks

– Only those integration times set to an integral number of power line cycles

(1, 2, 10, or 20 PLCs) provides a normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection.

– The U2741A sets the integration time to 20 PLCs after a factory reset (

*RST

command) or an Instrument Preset (

SYST:PRES

command).

Examples

RES:NPLC 1

//Sets the NPLC for resistance

measurements to 1 PLC

RES:NPLC?

//Queries the NPLC setting for

resistance measurements

Typical Response:

+1.00
