Resistance measurement
Resistance measurement can be performed under either auto or manual test conditions. Auto resistance measurement is performed in current source and voltage measurement mode.
The total auto resistance measurement error is shown in the table below. The total error of a manual resistance measurement can be calculated using the voltage and current accuracy information as shown below.
Source I mode, manual ohm measurement (4-wire) |
Total error = Vmeas/Isrc = R reading x (gain error % of V range + gain error % of I range + offset error of I range/Isrc value %) + (offset error of V range/Isrc value) |
Source V mode, manual ohm measurement (4-wire) |
Total error = Vsrc/Imeas = 1/ [1/R reading x (gain error % of I range + gain error % of V range + offset error of V range/Vsrc value %) + (offset error of I range/Vsrc value)] |
Measurement speed |
1 PLC |
Applicable for temperature |
23 °C ± 5 °C |
Example of total error calculation |
I source value = 1 mA at 1 mA range V measure range = 2 V range Total error (% reading + offset) = (0.02 % + 0.02 % + 200 nA/1 mA) + (350 μV/1 mA) = 0.06 % + 0.35 Ω |
