RESistance:APERture
[SENSe:]RESistance:APERture <
time
>
sets the aperture (integration time) in
seconds. Values are rounded up to the nearest aperture time shown in the following
table.

Comments
•
MINimum
sets the aperture time to 10 ms.
MAXimum
sets the aperture time to
320 ms.
•
The fastest aperture time available when autoranging is 100
µ
s. In order to specify an
aperture time of 10
µ
s, you must select a fixed range.
•
Setting the aperture time also sets the integration time in power line cycles (PLCs)
and the resolution. For example, an aperture time of 16.7 ms (60 Hz line frequency)
sets an integration time of 1 PLC. The corresponding resolution depends on the
function and range you select.
•
The
RES:APER
command overrides the results of previously executed
RESistance:NPLC
and
RESistance:RESolution
commands (the last command
executed has priority).
•
The greater the aperture time, the greater the normal mode rejection (and the
lower the reading rate).
•
For a 50 Hz line frequency, only the 20 ms and 320 ms settings provide normal
mode rejection of power line related noise. For a 60 Hz line frequency, only the
16.7 ms and 267 ms settings provide normal mode rejection of power line related
noise.
•
*RST Condition: 16.7 ms (60 Hz) or 20 ms (50 Hz)
