Making Point-To-Point Measurements
The Analyzer can make resistance and low current
measurements through its Point-to-Point function. To
access the Point-to-Point menu press . Use the
softkeys F1 through F3 to select the measurement
function.
Measuring Resistance
To make a resistance measurement:
1. Press the softkey labeled Resistance from the
Point-To-Point menu.
2. Insert test leads in the red ( Ω /A) and black jacks.
3. Null lead resistance by shorting the leads together and
pressing the softkey labeled Zero.
4. Place the probes across the unknown resistance and
read the measurement in the Analyzer’s display.
The Analyzer will measure resistances up to 20.0 Ω .
Figure 13 is an example of the Resistance Test.

Measuring Leakage Current
The Analyzer can make true rms measurements up to
2 mA. To make a current measurement:
1. Press the softkey labeled Leakage from the
Point-To-Point menu.
2. Insert test leads in the red ( Ω /A) and black jacks.
3. Place the leads on the two points the unknown current
may flow and read the measurement in the Analyzer’s
display.
