Measure ohms
Measurement methods
There are two methods to measure resistance: auto ohms and manual ohms. In auto ohms,
the SourceMeter operates as a conventional constant-current source ohmmeter. Select an
ohms measurement range (or auto range) and take the reading from the display.
In manual ohms, the SourceMeter uses the V/I measurement method. After configuring
the source (V or I) and selecting a voltage or current measurement range, the
measurement function will display the calculated V/I ohms reading.
Use the following menu sequence to select the auto ohms or manual ohms measurement
method:
Press CONFIG > press MEAS > select SOURCE > select AUTO or MANUAL
Ohms source readback
With source readback enabled, the SourceMeter measures both V and I and uses these
values for the ohms calculation. This feature provides optimum accuracy since the
measured source value is more accurate than the programmed source value. For remote
operation, the user specifies the functions to measure.
Use the following menu sequence to enable or disable source readback:
Press CONFIG > press MEAS > select SRC RDBK > select ENABLE or DISABLE
Ohms measurement procedures
The auto ohms and manual ohms measurement procedures are provided in Tables 5 and 6.
They assume that the DUT is already connected to the SourceMeter. (See Basic
connections.) Note that resistance accuracy specifications are based on 4-wire sensing.
