(CH1): Resistance 
(measure)
1. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature (minimum: 5 
minutes since the last power on).
2. Use the calibration menu (Section 10.3) to do a two-point 
calibration for each range. 
• Range: 0-400Ω 
a. Nominal zero ohms: Make a 4-wire connection to the 0Ω 
resistor; see Section 3.2.9 (Example procedure: Measure 
or simulate an RTD (or Resistance)), example A.
b. Nominal positive full-scale ohms: Make a 4-wire 
connection to the 400Ω resistor; see Section 3.2.9 (A). 
• Range: 400Ω-4kΩ. 
a. Nominal 400 ohms: Make a 4-wire connection to the 
400Ω resistor; see Section 3.2.9 (A).
b. Nominal positive full-scale ohms: Make a 4-wire 
connection to the 4kΩ resistor; see Section 3.2.9 (A). 
Note: Details of the true ohms option to be issued later.
3. To make sure the calibration is correct, select the applicable 
Resistance (measure) function; see Section 3.2.9, (A).
4.
Make a 4-wire connection to the applicable standard resistor 
(Table 10-10) and measure the value; see Section 3.2.9, (
A
). 
5. Make sure the error is in the specified limits (Table 10-10).
