(Cells n - n) (microhms) and the resistance test starts.
If you clicked OK from Intercell Resistance, the heading changes to Intercell in DCM n
(Cells n - n) (microhms) and the resistance test starts.
After a few minutes, 'test in progress' disappears, and the Get button becomes active. Click

and intertier values measured. To stop the test before completion, click Stop.
