Configuring a Channel to Measure Resistance
Perform the procedure in Figure 2-6 to configure a channel for measuring resistance. In
preparation, the instrument must be in the inactive mode (not scanning or monitoring)
and the desired channel must be selected (see Figure 2-3). To exit at any time (changes
not saved), press the 
C key.
The resistance to be measured can be connected using one channel (two-terminal
connection) or two channels (four-terminal connection). The four-terminal connection
provides increased measurement precision. The two channels used in a four-terminal
connection are a decade apart (n and n+10), for example, channel 3 (n) and 13 (n+10).
Only the lower channel is configured.
Restrictions
Four-Terminal Channels. Four-Terminal configurations are limited to channels 1 to 10
(n). The channel a decade higher (n + 10) is automatically reserved for use.

Selecting the Resistance Mode.  Press the 
FUNC key to access the SET FUNC (Set 
Function) menu.  Press the up/down arrow keys 
until 
Ω
 (ohms) is displayed, then press the 
ENTER key.
Selecting the Measurement Scale.  Select a 
fixed scale or Auto (autoranging).  A fixed scale 
indicates an upper measurement limit.  For 
example, the 30.000 k
Ω
 scale measures 30 k
Ω
 
ohms or less.  Measurements beyond the scale 
limit will cause an OL (overload) display.  The x1 
(unity or x 1) multiplier indicates a reading in 
ohms; the k (kilo or x 1,000) multiplier indicates a 
reading in kilohms; the M (mega or x 1,000,000) 
multiplier indicates a reading in megohms.
In Auto (autoranging), the instrument chooses the 
scale for the best measurement resolution.  
When scales are changed, the scan is 
momentarily slowed.

SET FUNC
ENTER
Selecting the Terminal Mode.  Select the two-
terminal (2T) or four-terminal (4T) mode.  4T 
automatically clears configuration data from the 
channel a decade higher (n+10).  For example, 
selecting channel 3 for 4T operation will 
automatically clear channel 13 of all configuration 
data and lock it out from further use.
