How do I set the NPLC on a Agilent 34970A then keep it set when I do a Temp measurement on the channels

I have an Agilent 34970A DAQ that I am trying to set the NPLC to 10 and keep it set when I issue a temp measurement command to the channels.  Right now I can issue the NPLC 10 command to set the channels and it works but when I send the measure channels command the NPLC gets set back to 1. What am I missing to keep this from happening?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Charles,
Was your problem solved? I have run into a very similar situation but instead of HP 34970A, I have a HP 3852A and I want to set NPLC small so that it speeds up the data acqusition.
I tried Measurement and Automation Explorer and use "communicate with Instrument" under GPIB folder and issue the command "NPLC 0" before running labview. But I did not see any change when I run my LabVIEW again. Since this command was working under VEE Pro, I am guessing the setting for NPLC was somehow reset. I am not sure why.
I will try use "GPIB write" vi to see if it does anything but I'm not sure if I should set NPLC value everytime. Please let me know what you think if by any chance you see this message.
Thanks,

I don't think you can set the NPLC to 0, the minimum value is 0.02. Maybe VEE automatically set it to the minimum value. Instead use NPLC MIN.
Now if you use the MEAS? command to read the value the instrument will use the default value for the type of measurement if you don't specify the resolution (not the integration time, if you look at the 34970A documentation you will see how they relate) which is probably set to NPLC 1.
If you want to speed up things you may look at the ROUT: SCAN and READ? commands to define a scan list.
