In No Display, only the voltage, mode and range are displayed, with no measured value.
This might be used for security reasons or for the purpose of reducing test time during re-
mote operation.
When the display is selected as current, you need to keep in mind that the 5 k
Ω
input
impedance and the 1 k
Ω
output voltage source impedance of the unit are in series with
the unknown. For low values of resistance (<20 M
Ω
) the measured current would be the
Charge Voltage/(Zin + Zout+ Runknown).
2.6.3.2 Result Format
Figure 2-18: Measurement Results Format
Allows selection from two different measurement result formats: Sci or Eng , for scientific
or engineering units. Scientific units are expressed as an exponent and engineering units
are expressed in ohms for resistance and amps for current. For example e6 in scientific
units can be expressed as M
Ω
or as µA in engineering units. This is strictly for the user’s
convenience.
When
Sci
is selected, the results will always be displayed as 5 digits and an exponent. The
5 digits will be configured as 1 to the left and 4 to the right of the decimal point. When Eng
is selected, the results will be displayed with a minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 digits: there
are always 3 digits to the right of the decimal point, but to the left there could be 1, 2, or 3
digits depending on value. For example, when the unit is M
Ω
, and, depending on the de-
vice being measured, the display might show 1.123 M
Ω
, 10.123 M
Ω
or even 100.123 M
Ω
.
