4-wire resistance measurements with offset compensation ..... 6-3
Introduction
This application example demonstrates how to use the Model DMM7510 to accurately measure a
resistance device.
To provide the best resistance measurement accuracy, the four-wire (Kelvin) measurement and the
offset compensation methods are used for this test. Offset compensation is a measuring technique
that reduces or eliminates thermoelectric EMFs in low-level resistance measurements. The voltage
offsets because of the presence of thermoelectric EMFs (V
EMF
) can adversely affect resistance
measurement accuracy.
To overcome these offset voltages, you can use offset-compensated ohms.
Equipment required
• One Model DMM7510
• Four insulated banana cables, such as the Model 1756 Standard Test Lead Kit that is provided
with the Model DMM7510 (you will need another set)
• One device to be tested; the application shown here uses a 20 Ω resistor (actual resistance value
can vary with availability and user discretion)
• One computer set up for communication with the Model DMM7510
