Section 3: Basic Measurements
Resistance measurements
NOTE
Accurate high resistance measurements require the use of a low-leakage test fixture.
The following procedure requires “BENCH” default settings (see
1.
With zero check enabled (“ZeroCheck” displayed), select the ohms function by pressing
R
.
2.
Select
Auto V-Source ohms
. In this mode, the V-Source is automatically set to a voltage
(nominally 40V or 400V) that optimizes measurement accuracy (see
more information). Note that default “BENCH” settings selects Manual V-Source ohms. In
this mode, you must manually set the V-Source level for the measurement. See
for details on using the V-Source.
WARNING
Selecting Auto V-Source ohms may set the V-Source to 400V. Hazardous
voltages may be present on the output and guard terminals that could cause
personal injury or death.
3.
Select a measurement range or use autoranging:
a.
To automatically select the most sensitive range, enable autorange. The
AUTO
key
enables and disables autorange. When enabled, the AUTO annunciator is on.
b.
For manual ranging, use the
RANGE
and
keys to select a measurement range
consistent with the expected resistance.
4.
Connect the Model 6517B to the test fixture. Generic connections are shown in
.
Note that this connection scheme requires that ammeter LO be internally connected to
V-Source LO (see
for more information). For optimum accuracy,
leakage currents in the test fixture can be cancelled by performing REL on the current
component of the measurement (see
5.
Disable zero check by pressing
OPER
, then press
Z-CHK
to source voltage to the test
fixture device under test (DUT).
6.
Take a reading from the display.
7.
Place the V-Source in standby when finished by again pressing
OPER
.
