5.2.5 Measurement Function
5.2.5.1 Measurement Function
The following measurement functions are available.
1. Voltage-measurement function
2. Current-measurement function
3. Resistance-measurement function
For voltage-source function, the resistance value is displayed by measuring current.
For current-source function, the resistance value is displayed by measuring the voltage.
For more information on resistance value calculation in the case of pulse source mode, refer to Sec-
tion 5.2.5.3, “Measurement Delay Time and Measurement Value.”
In one mode, the measurement function can be selected independently from the source function. In another
mode, the linked measurement function is set according to the source function.
Use E) MEASURE or 6) Mfunc Link to change the mode.
If the linked mode is set, when the source function is changed, the measurement function changes as fol-
lows:
• Voltage source function / current measurement function VsIm
• Current source function / voltage measurement function IsVm
Immediately after the linked mode is set, the measurement function changes according to the current
source function setting, as shown above.
NOTE: The resistance measurement function shows the following messages if it can not normally calcu-
late the resistance value.
Count Few: The source current value is below 20 digits, or current-measurement value is
below 200 digits.
VSource=0: The voltage-source value is 0.
