[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:OCOMpensated
This command enables or disables offset compensation for resistance measurements.

[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:OCOMpensated <b>
[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:OCOMpensated?
Turn on offset compensation:
or
Turn off offset compensation: 0 or OFF
Details
The voltage offsets because of the presence of thermal EMFs (V
EMF
) can adversely affect resistance
measurement accuracy. To overcome these offset voltages, you can use offset-compensated ohms.
Example
:SENS:FUNC "RES"
:SENS:RES:RANG:AUTO ON
:RES:OCOM ON
:COUNT 5
:OUTP ON
:TRAC:TRIG "defbuffer1"
:TRAC:DATA? 1, 5, "defbuffer1", SOUR, READ
Reset the instrument.
Set the measurement function to resistance.
Turn offset-compensated ohms on.
Turn the output on.
Make a measurement.
Turn the output off.
