Measuring Conductances (DT4282)
3.10 Measuring Conductances
(DT4282)
The resistance is measured and the inverse number is displayed
(Unit: nS, nano-siemens). When the resistance is excessively large,
it is used.
Example: When the resistance is 50 M
Ω
, 1/50 M
Ω
= 20 nS.
(M = 10

When the terminal is open, 0 nS appears.
WARNING
Before measuring, be sure to turn off the power to the
measurement circuit. Otherwise, electric shock may
occur or the instrument may be damaged.

The open terminal voltage is approx. 2.5 V or less. The
measurement current (DC) is approx. 96 nA. (p. 87)
To avoid damage to the measurement object, check the
specications before use.
