Use the unit's chassis ground connection - i.e. connect to an earth ground to avoid a static discharge to a static sensitive component. Handle all AMPTEC 601ES DMM internal components as if they are static sensitive if you are not sure.
Sect. E - General Operation and Design E-5.2 AMPTEC 601ES Resistance The AMPTEC 601ES resistance measurement function works using the principle of OHM'S LAW (V/I=R). It outputs a constant DC current through the unknown resistance then measures the voltage drop across the resistance.
