Details

The voltage offsets caused by the presence of thermoelectric EMFs (V

EMF

) can adversely affect

resistance measurement accuracy. To overcome these offset voltages, you can use offset-
compensated ohms.

For 4-wire resistance measurements, when offset compensation is enabled, the measure range is
limited to a maximum of 100

kΩ. Offset compensation is automatically enabled when dry circuit is

enabled.

For 2-wire resistance measurements, offset compensation is always set to off.

For temperature measurements, offset compensation is only available when the transducer type is
set to 3-wire or 4-wire RTD.

Example

dmm.measure.func = dmm.FUNC_TEMPERATURE

dmm.measure.transducer = dmm.TRANS_FOURRTD

dmm.measure.offsetcompensation.enable = dmm.ON

print(dmm.measure.read())

Sets the measurement function to
resistance. Set the instrument for 4-wire
RTD and turn offset compensation on.
Make a measurement.
