Query Syntax
[SENSe:]RESistance:APERture? [<MIN | MAX>]
Query Parameters
<MIN> = Causes the query to report the minimum value (500
µ
s)
<MAX> = Causes the query to report the maximum value (2.0 s)
Query Response
2E+00 | 1.67E+00 | 2E-01 | 1.67E-01 | 2E-02 | 1.67E-02 | 2E-03 | 1.67E-03 | 5E-04
Description
This command sets the integration time (in seconds) for resistance measurements.
Values are rounded to the nearest aperture time as shown in the table below. Setting to
MINimum sets the value to 500
µ
s; setting to MAXimum sets the value to 2.0 seconds.
The greater the aperture time setting, the greater the normal mode rejection and the
lower the reading rate.

Setting the aperture time also sets the integration time in power line cycles (PLCs) and
the resolution. This command can override the previous values set by
CALibration:LFRequency, RESistance:NPLC or RESistance:RESolution. The last
command executed has priority. See *RST Values above for default values.
