2.7 RTD/Ohms Connections
In the examples that follow 2W, 3W, and 4W identify the 2,
3, and 4-wire connections for a RTD or resistance.
2.7.1 Measure/Simulate an RTD or Ohms
To measure/simulate RTD values or Ohms:
1. Connect the instrument (Figure 7 & Figure 8) and, if
necessary, adjust the Set Up (Table 1).
2. Select the task from the task selection menu (Table 2).
3. If necessary, adjust the Settings (Table 4 & Table 5)
