ranges.
Resistance Accuracy
Accuracy is given as ± (% measu % of range). Basic accuracy specification is for 4-wire resistance, medium or
slow sample rate. For 2-wire resistance add 0.02
Ω
internal resistance if using Channel 1, or 1.5
Ω
if using channels x01
through x20, and add external lead wire resistance. When using Fast sample rate, add the numbers given in the table to
the accuracy specification. If the environment temperature is outside the specified range, multiply the Temperature
Coefficient numbers by the temperature deviation and add to the accuracy specification.
