Introduction
This example application makes a 2-wire resistance measurement using the front panel of the
instrument.
Set the function before making other instrument settings. Many of the settings are related to a
specific measure function. The applications in this manual use the order of operations to produce the
best results.
Equipment required for this example
Equipment required to perform this test:
• One DMM6500
• Two insulated banana cables
• One resistor to test; the example uses a resistor with a 9.75 kΩ rating
Device connections
Connect the DMM6500 to the resistor in a 2-wire (local sense) configuration. In this configuration, the
device is connected between the INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals.
