4-wire connections
 
Connections for 4-wire local sensing are shown in Figure 4. Use 4-wire remote sensing for 
the following source-measure conditions:
•Test circuit impedance is <1k
 
Ω
 
.
• Optimum ohms, V-source, and/or V-measure accuracy is required.
With 4-wire sensing selected, the 4W annunciator is on. The following menu sequence 
selects 4-wire remote sensing:
Press CONFIG > select SOURCE V (or MEAS 
 
Ω
 
) > select SENSE MODE > select 4-WIRE
 
NOTE
 
Specified accuracies for both source and measure are achieved only using 4-wire 
remote sensing.
