Keithley 2016 - Measuring Continuity; Connections; Threshold Resistance Level; Figure 2-9 Continuity Measurements

Measuring continuity
The Model 2016 uses the 1kΩ range to measure circuit continuity. After selecting continuity,
the unit prompts you for a threshold resistance level (1Ω-1000Ω). The Model 2016 alerts you
with a beep when a reading is below the set level.
To measure the continuity of a circuit, press SHIFT then CONT, set the threshold resistance
level and connect the circuit.
NOTE Continuity has a non-selectable reading rate of FAST (0.1 PLC).
Connections
Connect the circuit you want to test to the INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals of the
Model 2016. The test current flows from the INPUT HI as shown in Figure 2-9.
Threshold resistance level
You can define a threshold resistance from 1Ω to 1000Ω. The factory setting is 10Ω. Follow
these steps to define the resistance level:
1. Press SHIFT then CONT.
2. Use the and keys to choose a numerical place and use the ▲ and ▼ keys to
increment or decrement the digits. Enter a value from 1 to 1000.
3. Press ENTER to confirm your setting.
Note: Source current flows from the INPUT
HI to INPUT LO terminals.
