In the circuit of Fig. 3 it may be noted that R1 is in parallel with a low-
value resistance (the one from the micro-ammeter) therefore its influence
is reduced during reading.
Through resistance R2 circulates a current which is not passing through
the meter and consequently does not affect the reading. In fact, current
through R2 originates a certain error, since it creates an additional voltage
drop in R1 which was not regarded during equipment calibration. As
regards the practical use of instrument, it shall be considered that if R1
and R2 are higher than 100 M
Ω, any value of Rx will be measured with an
insignificant error. For example: Let us consider Rx = 3000 M
Ω and R1 =
R2 = 100 M
Ω, the reading without using the GUARD terminal would be
187.5 M
Ω, which is quite wrong. On the other hand, if the GUARD
terminal is properly used, we would have 3000 M
Ω.
