Ohms sensing
Ohms measurements can be made using either 2-wire or 4-wire sensing. See DUT test connections
(on page 4-6) for information on connections and sensing methods.
The 2-wire sensing method has the advantage of requiring only two test leads. However, as shown in
the following figure (2-wire resistance sensing), test lead resistance can seriously affect the accuracy
of 2-wire resistance measurements, particularly with lower resistance values.
