c. Press , , and then press to configure to use 4-wire
connection.
d. Press Ch1 to turn on Channel 1 Output relay.
e. Press to perform a single point measurement.
4. Compare two results
a. Compare two results to see the effect of 4-wire connection. The result with
4-wire connection is 1 Ohm, while the one with 2-wire connection is 1.6 Ohm.
The difference, that is 0.6 Ohm, should be the residual lead resistance on the
measurement cables.
