  • Page 187 Appendix 1 Precautions for Making Custom Test Leads • Do not allow the test leads near metal surfaces. In particular, the lead por- tions that are not twisted together must be kept away from conductors to avoid unstable measurements resulting from the effects of induced current.

The following figure shows the principle of the AC four-terminal measurement method.

  • Page 193: Appendix 6 Effect Of Eddy Currents

    Appendix 6 Effect of Eddy Currents Appendix 6 Effect of Eddy Currents The AC current generated in the instrument induces eddy currents in the sur- rounding metallic plates, which generate induced voltage in the test lead. Since the phase of this induced voltage is shifted from that of the AC current (reference signal) by 180 degrees, it cannot be eliminated by the synchronous detection cir- cuit, resulting in measurement errors.

  • Page 195: Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment

    Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment Zero adjustment is a function which adjusts the zero point by deducting the residual value obtained during 0 Ω measurement. For this reason, zero adjust- ment must be performed when connection is made to 0 Ω. However, connecting a sample with no resistance is difficult and therefore is not practical.
  • Page 196 Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment To perform zero adjustment appropriately Table 1 shows the correct and wrong connections. The resistances in the figure indicate lead resistances; there will be no problem if they are less than few Ω respectively. In (a), if you connect SENSE-H and SENSE-L as well as SOURCE-H and SOURCE-L respectively, and use one path to make connection between SENSE and SOURCE, no potential difference occurs between SENSE-H and SENSE-L, and 0 V is input.
  • Page 197 Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment To perform zero adjustment using a probe When you actually perform zero adjustment using a probe, you may unexpect- edly make the connection shown in Table 1 (b). Therefore, when performing zero adjustment, you need to pay sufficient attention to the connection state of each terminal.
  • Page 198 Appendix 8 Zero Adjustment To perform zero adjustment using 9454 ZERO ADJUSTMENT BOARD When performing zero adjustment, you cannot use a metal board or similar object to replace 9454 ZERO ADJUSTMENT BOARD. 9454 ZERO ADJUSTMENT BOARD is not just a metal board. Its structure con- sists of two layers of metal boards screwed at one point.
