Aperture time is the period during which an ADC reads the voltage or current on a power supply or SMU. Aperture time can be specified in seconds (s) or power line cycles (PLCs). Measurement resolution, measurement speed, and frequency rejection are all functions of aperture time.

Tip Select longer aperture times to improve measurement resolution; select shorter aperture times to increase the measurement speed. |
