PERiod:APERture
[SENSe:]PERiod:APERture <time>|MIN|MAX sets the integration time in
seconds. Values for time are rounded up to the nearest aperture time shown in the
following table.
Parameters
Comments • MINimum sets the aperture time to 10ms. MAXimum sets the aperture time to
1 second.
• The fastest aperture time available when autoranging is 100ms. In order to
specify an aperture time of 10ms, you must select a fixed range.
• Setting the aperture time also sets the resolution. Aperture time of 0.01 sets
resolution at 4½-digits, 0.1 sets 5½-digits and 1 sets 6½-digits.
• *RST Condition: 0.1 (100ms)
Example Set the Aperture Time
PER:APER 1E-2
Aperture time is 10 ms.
PERiod:APERture?
[SENSe:]PERiod:APERture? [MIN|MAX] returns one of the following numbers to
the output buffer:
• The present aperture time in seconds if MIN or MAX is not specified.
• The minimum aperture time available (10 ms) if MIN is specified.
• The maximum aperture time available (100 ms) if MAX is specified.
