2-19. Autoranging Kilohms
Although it is not indicated on the front panel, there is an additional
autoranging range available: the autoranging k
Ω
range, which consists of 2
k
Ω
, 20 k
Ω
, and 300 k
Ω
ranges. To select this range, you must
simultaneously press the M
Ω
and the 200
Ω
switches as shown in Figure 2-
13. Like the autoranging M
Ω
ranges, the autoranging k
Ω
ranges have enough
voltage to turn on semiconductor junctions. Note that the use of the relative
function with the autoranging k
Ω
ranges is restricted to the autoranging k
Ω
ranges. Refer to the description of the relative function for more information.
The autoranging k
Ω
has the same decrease in resolution (see Table 2-3) and
the same display hysteresis as the autoranging M
Ω
.

1. Push both the MΩ and
200Ω switches at the
same time to select the
KΩ autorange.
2. Press switch in to select
resistance function and
measure resistance as
described in Figure 2-12.
