Under what circumstances do contact errors occur?
8.11 Under what circumstances do contact errors
occur?
Contact errors are reported more often when the effect on measurement of the contact resistance
between the probes and the measurement target becomes more pronounced. In terms of specific
operation, 2-terminal resistance measurement is used to measure the resistance between the
probes and the measurement target, and a contact error is concluded to have occurred if a certain
threshold is exceeded.
• The RM2612 Resistance Calculation Software allows you to turn the contact check function on or
off. When the function is on, the judgment process described above is performed. The initial value
is ON.
• The threshold can be set as desired from 1
Ω
to 1 M
Ω
. The initial value is 20 k
Ω
.
• The software also provides an error rejection function (p. 53) that works with the results of
contact checks between probes to identify which probes have generated contact errors.
