7.5.1 Compensation of test leads resistance
This chapter describes how to compensate the test leads resistance in
R low
and
Continuity
functions. Compensation is required to eliminate the influence of test leads resistance and the
internal resistances of the instrument on the measured resistance. The lead compensation is
therefore a very important feature to obtain correct result.
symbol is displayed if the compensation was carried out successfully.
