Functions
Details
Enabling dry circuit limits the open-circuit voltage to below 20 mV, which is often required with
low-glitch measurements, such as measuring switch and relay contact resistance.
When dry circuit is enabled, offset compensation is automatically enabled.
Example
Set the measure function to 4-wire resistance
and enable dry circuit.
