Basic measurement connections
For resistance measurements (¾2 and ¾4) greater than 100k¾, more stable readings can be
achieved by using shielding. Place the resistance in a shielded enclosure and connect the shield
to INPUT LO. Shielded cable should be used such that the shield (INPUT LO) encircles the other
cable conductor(s).
Maximum inputs for the Model 2000 are summarized in Table 1.
Basic measurement procedure
1. Connect the instrument as explained in “Instrument connection”.
2. From the function keys, select the desired measurement function.
3. Use the RANGE keys to select autoranging or a manual range. Pressing the AUTO range
key toggles autoranging. You can select a different range with the ▲ and ▼ RANGE keys.
4. Take a reading from the display.
