Details
Enabling dry circuit limits the open-circuit voltage to below 20 mV, which is often required with
low-glitch measurements, such as measuring switch and relay contact resistance.
When dry circuit is enabled, offset compensation is automatically enabled.
Example
dmm.measure.func = dmm.FUNC_4W_RESISTANCE
dmm.measure.drycircuit = dmm.ON
Set the measure function to 4-wire
resistance and enable dry circuit.
