Keysight 34465A - set aperture in NPLC instead of seconds?

[DB2020]

There is a function on Keysight 34465A multimeters front panel that allows setting aperture by time (s) or number of Power Line Cycles.

There is a VI in the Agilent 3446X Series library that allows to do the same from Labview, however it only works for the time in seconds. Is it possible to programatically (from Labview) set the aperture by number of PLC instead?

Hi DB,

Is it possible to programatically (from Labview) set the aperture by number of PLC instead?

Read the manual for your Keysight device to learn about its commands and parameters.

Then implement the proper command in a VI similar to the one you already found…

Thanks a lot. 

The solution I ended up with, was to create a Keysight command and write it directly to VISA instead of using the library VI.

This sets the aperture at 100 power line cycles.

Kudos given to OP for coming back to thread to post his solution. Salt of the earth.
