2.4 Resistance Measurement
2.4.2 Conductance (1/ Ω )Measurement (nS)
The conductance measurement displays the reciprocal of
the resistance. The display unit is "nS" (nanosiemens).
For example, if the resistance is 40 M
Ω
, the conductance
measurement will be 1/40 M
Ω
= 25 nS. (M is 10
6
, n is 10
-9
).
If the resistance is infinity, 0 nS is displayed. This is used
when the resistance is extremely large.
1.

key.
3.
Connect the test leads to the test ter-
minals.
4.
Connect the test leads to the object
being tested.
5.
