6-6-2 Terminal to Terminal Current (LI)
Terminal-to-Terminal Current is the current that runs between
− and ＋ terminals when measuring resistance. There may be
some cases that the impedance of measured object varies,
especially when measuring semi-conductors, due to self-
heating caused by current running while measuring resistance.
The maximum LI values are printed on the body panel, at right
side of each range. Readings at each range shall be converted
by multiplying the values (shown below).
x1 k (80
µA)
Range : LI scale x10, and read as
µ
A.
x100 (800
µA)
Range : LI scale x100, and read as
µ
A.
x10 (8
mA)
Range : Simply read as mA.
x1 (80
mA)
Range : LI scale x10, and read as mA.
