6.4 Resistance Test, 4-wire
The following procedure may be used to verify the accuracy of the 4-wire function.
1. If you have not done so, install the SMU2060/64 DMM and place the covers back on to the computer. Ensure
that the computer has been on for at least one-half hour, with the covers on, before conducting this test.
2. Connect the DMM V, + & - terminals to the calibrator HI & LO Output. Connect the DMM’s I, 4W + & -
terminals to the HI & LO Sense terminals.
3. Select the 4W function on the DMM, Autorange. Set the calibrator to 0 . Be certain that the calibrator is set
to external sense ("EX SNS" on the Fluke 5700A or “4-Wire Comp” on the 5520A). Allow the DMM to settle for
a few seconds, and perform the Relative function.
4. Apply the following Resistance values to the V, + & - terminals. Check to see that the displayed reading on
the DMM is within the indicated range.
