2.4 Resistance Measurement
2.4.2 Conductance (1/Ω)Measurement (nS)
The conductance measurement displays the reciprocal of
the resistance. The display unit is "nS" (nanosiemens).
For example, if the resistance is 40 M
Ω
, the conductance
measurement will be 1/40 M
Ω
= 25 nS. (M is 10
6
, n is 10
-9
).
If the resistance is infinity, 0 nS is displayed. This is used
when the resistance is extremely large.
1. Set the function switch.
2. Select nS with the
SHIFT
key.
3. Connect the test leads to the test te
minals.
4. Connect the test leads to the obje
being tested.
5. Read the value displayed in th
main display.
