Resistor testing
The 2001-TCSCAN scanner card can be used to test up to seven resistors using 2-wire
measurements or up to four resistors using 4-wire measurements. Such tests use the DMM6500 2-
and 4-wire resistance functions.
Two-wire resistance tests
The figure below shows a typical setup for make 2-wire resistance measurements. The
2001-TCSCAN scanner card provides the switching function. The resistance measurements are
made by the DMM6500. Since only 2-pole switching is required for this application, one
2001-TC
SCAN can be used to switch up to seven resistors. However, the 240 Ω resistance of
channels 5 and 10 may affect the measurement accuracy of 2-wire resistance measurements made
using these channels. Generally, channels 5 and 10 should not be used for 2-wire resistance
measurements unless the scanner card is modified.
