1.4 Symbols

These instruments indicate the resistance of the 
unknown in multiples of ohms. The relationship 
between ohms (

Ω

), kilohms (k

Ω

), megohms (M

Ω

), 

gigaohms (G

Ω

), and teraohms (T

Ω

) is as follows:

1.5 Connections

The UNKNOWN, GUARD and ground terminals 
are standard 3/4-in. spaced binding posts that accept 
banana plugs, standard telephone tips, alligator clips, 
crocodile clips, spade terminals and all wire sizes up 
to number eleven (Figure 1-3).

When several measurements of components with 
leads are to be made, consult IET for an appropriate 
test jig or 

fi

 xture.
