2.4.3 Two and four-wire resistance
The Model 2002 can make 2-wire resistance measurements
from 100nΩ to 1.05GΩ and 4-wire resistance measurements
from 100nΩ to 2.1MΩ. The basic measurement procedures
for Ω2 and Ω4 are contained in the Getting Started manual.
Shielding
It helps to shield resistance greater than 100kΩ to achieve a
stable reading. Place the resistance in a shielded enclosure
and electrically connect the shield to the INPUT LO terminal
of the instrument.

Resistance configuration
The following information explains the various configura-
tion options for 2-wire and 4-wire resistance measurements.
The configuration menus are summarized in Tables 2-16 and
2-17. The menus are accessed by pressing CONFIG and then
Ω2 or Ω4. Paragraph 2.3.5 summarizes the rules for navigat-
ing through the menus.
Note that a function does not have to be selected in order to
be configured. When the function is selected, it will assume
the programmed status.
