ONCE Enable and then disable auto aperture
:AUTO? Query state of auto aperture.
These commands are used to enable or disable auto aperture for the specified measurement func-
tion. With auto aperture enabled, the instrument automatically optimizes the aperture value for
the present resolution setting. This is the same as selecting SET-BY-RSLN from the front panel
(see paragraph 2.4).
Tables 2-8, 2-13, 2-18 and 2-24 provide the integration times for SET-BY-RSLN (AUTO). Note
that the times are provided as NPLC values. To convert to aperture times, use the formula in
paragraph 3.18.5.
The ONCE parameter is analogous to a momentary toggle switch. When :AUTO ONCE is sent,
auto aperture turns on momentarily and then disables. While enabled, it automatically selects
the appropriate value as summarized in the tables. When auto aperture disables, the aperture
remains at the selected value.
:APERture:AUTO is coupled to the command that manually sets the aperture value (:APERture
<n>). When auto aperture is enabled, the parameter value for :APERture <n> changes to the
automatically selected aperture value. Thus, when auto aperture is disabled, the aperture
remains at the automatically selected value. Also, a valid aperture value sent using the
:APERture <n> command disables auto aperture.
Auto aperture is also coupled to auto NPLC. Enabling or disabling auto aperture also enables or
disables auto NPLC. Also, a valid NPLC value sent using the :NPLC command disables auto
aperture.
