Compensation of test leads resistance
This chapter describes how to compensate the test leads resistance in
Continuity
(Output =
P/S
–
PE)
function. Compensation can be carried out to eliminate the influence of test leads
resistance and the internal resistances of the instrument on the measured resistance.
Connection for compensating the resistance of test leads
Figure 6.20: Shorted test leads
Compensation of test leads resistance procedure
Select the
Continuity
function. Parameter Output must be set to P/S - PE.
Connect test leads to the instrument and short the test leads together, see
Touch the
key to compensate leads resistance.
Symbol
is displayed if the compensation was carried out successfully.

Note:
The compensation of test leads is carried out with set test current (I out).
