[1] Continuously variable from 0 Ω to 1.1 GΩ.
[2] Applies for a 4-WIRE compensation only. For 2-WIRE and 2-WIRE COMP, add 5 µV per Amp of stimulus current to the floor
specification. For example, in 2-WIRE mode, at 1 kΩ, the floor specification within 12 hours of an ohms zero cal for a
measurement current of 1 mA is:
0.002 Ω + (5 µV/1 ma) = (0.002 + 0.005) Ω = 0.007 Ω
[3] For currents lower than shown, the floor adder increases by:
Floor (new) = Floor (old) X Imin/Iactual.
For example, a 50 µA stimulus measuring 100 Ω, has a floor specification of: 0.0014 Ω X 1 mA/50 µA = 0.028 Ω, assuming an
ohms zero cal within 12 hours.
