Resistance verification
Use the following information to verify the performance of the DMM6500 resistance functions.
Four-wire resistance verification
To verify the 4-wire resistance function, you will:
• Use shielded, Teflon-insulated or equivalent cables in a 4-wire configuration.
• Characterize the calibrator 1 Ω and 10 Ω nominal values with an external reference digital
multimeter (DMM); verify accuracy from the reference DMM readings.
• For the 100 Ω to 100 MΩ ranges, verify accuracy from actual calibrator source values.
• Verify that the displayed readings are within specified limits.
