3-22 Basic DMM Operation Model 2701 User’s Manual
Model 7700 switching module
Connections for the switching module are shown in Figure 3-9. As shown in Figure 3-9A,
each of the 20 channels can be used to perform Ω2 measurements. For Ω4 measurements,
a channel pair is used for each 4-wire measurement as shown in Figure 3-9B.
For Ω4 connections, channels 1 through 10 (which are used as the INPUT terminals) are
paired to channels 11 through 20 (which are used as the SENSE terminals). Channel 1 is
paired to channel 11, channel 2 is paired to channel 12, and so on.

Shielding
To achieve a stable reading, it helps to shield resistances greater than 100kΩ. As shown in
Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9, place the resistance in a shielded enclosure and connect the
shield to the input low terminal of the instrument electrically.
