Resistance Test 
The  following  procedure  may  be  used  to  verify  the 
accuracy  of  the  2-wire  and  4-wire  ohms  functions. 
1. 
Ensure  the  8840A is  on  and  has  warmed 
up 
for  at 
least 
1 
hour.

select the indicated range, 
set the Resistance Calibrator for 
the 
specified nominal 
input,  and  proceed 
as 
follows: 
a. 
Test 
the  4-wire  ohms function: 
1. 
Select the  4-wire  ohms  function. 
2. 
Verify  that  the  displayed reading  is within 
the  limits  shown  for  each  reading  rate. 
b.  Test  the  2-wire  ohms  function: 
1. 
Select  the  2-wire  ohms  function.  (The
