Appendix. Tips for Connection between M9602A/M9603A and your DUT
Two-wire connection or four-wire connection
If you are measuring very small resistances or applying a very large current, you should use the four-
wire measurement method (also known as the Kelvin method). This technique uses both force and
sense terminals. Performing the measurement through the sense terminals (in which no current is
flowing) eliminates the undesirable effects of cable resistance.
