Details
The integration period (measurement speed) for the Model 6517B can be set using either of two
commands; :APERture or :NPLCycle. Aperture specifies time (in seconds) per integration, while
NPLC expresses the integration period by basing it on the power line frequency.
When the integration period is set using the :NPLCycles command, the time value for the
:APERture command changes accordingly to reflect the new integration rate. Conversely, if the
integration period is set using the :APERture command, the value for the :NPLCycle command
changes accordingly.
On power-up, the instrument uses the NPLC value to determine the integration period.
