Frequency and Period) is set using this :NPLCycles command. NPLC (Number of Power Line
Cycles) expresses the integration period by basing it on the power line frequency. For example, for
a PLC of 1, the integration period in seconds would be1/60 (for 60Hz line power) or 16.67 ms.
Note: Set the measurement function first before setting or querying the NPLC. All the
command syntax listed will set or query the same NPLC value.
RANGe Command
The RANGe command is a subset to current, voltage, and resistance measurement commands, of
which are part of the SENSe subsystem. The below lists out all the command syntax for setting RANGe
for different measurement functions.

Query:
:RANGe[:UPPer]? Query measurement range of the currently selected function.
Description:
This command is used to manually select the measurement range for the specified measurement
function.
