2W/4W Resistance Measurement
Measurement
type
2-wire
Uses the standard V-COM ports.
Recommended for measuring resistances
larger than 1kΩ.
4-wire
Compensates the test lead effect using the
4W compensation ports, in addition to the
standard V-COM ports.
Recommended for measuring sensitive
resistances smaller than 1kΩ.
1. Activate
resistance
measurement
For 2-wire resistance measurement,
press the 2W/4W key once.
For 4-wire resistance measurement,
press the 2W/4W key twice.

3. Connect the
test lead and
measure
Connect the test lead. For 2-wire resistance, use the Ω (V)
and the COM port. For 4-wire resistance, use the Ω (V)
and the COM port, plus the 4W sense, and LO port for
sensing. The display updates the reading.
