Audible Continuity
For the 500 Ω range, the beeper will emit a sound if the
resistance value falls below 10 Ω. For other ranges, the
beeper will emit a sound if the resistance falls below the
typical values listed in the table below.

Conductance
The conductance measurement function makes it easier to
measure very high resistance of up to 100 GΩ (refer to
Figure 2- 9
on page 44 for probe connection). As
high- resistance readings are susceptible to noise, you can
capture average readings using the Dynamic Recording mode.
See
Figure 3- 1
on page 57.
