2640A 4-Wire Resistance Measurement Specifications A-15.
Tables A-15 to A-17 provide 2640A specifications for the 4-wire resistance
measurement function. The 4-wire measurements use 2 input channels a decade
apart, e.g., channels 4 and 14.
Table A-15. 2640A 4-Wire Resistance Temperature Coefficient
Specification Characteristic
Temperature Coefficient Add 1/10th the 90 day specification per ºC
above 28ºC or below 18ºC.
Accuracy at -20°C Multiply the -10°C to + 60°C accuracy
specification by 2. After 1 hour warmup. For
accuracy between -10°C and -20°C, interpolate
linearly.

* The 3 MΩ range is susceptible to the absorption of humidity under extreme conditions. If the instrument is
operated normally within its specified temperature-humidity range, the 3 MΩ range meets its accuracy
specifications. However, if the instrument is “soaked” at 50°C, 90% RH the 3MΩ range may require 1 hour
of “dry-out” time at 25°C, <40% RH for each hour of “soak” time in order to achieve its specified accuracy.
