dV Calculations  The following equations are used by the 622x to calculate differential voltage (dV).
To calculate dV, points A through H are 2182/2182A voltage measurements (A/D readings).
A/D Rdg
A
A/D Rdg C
A/D Rdg E
A/D Rdg H
A/D Rdg F
A/D Rdg D
A/D Rdg = 2182/2182A voltage measurement conversion.
dG and dR Calculations  With dI known (dI = Delta) and dV calculated, the 622x can then calculate
differential conductance (dG) or differential resistance (dR).
With G units selected, readings are calculated as follows: dG = dI/dV.
With R units selected, readings are calculated as follows: dR = dV/dI.
dV Calc = Calculate differential voltage (dV) using
last three A/D Rdgs.
