Termination resistance measurement

Many of the performance tests use a BNC-dual banana adapter and 50 Ω BNC

feed-through terminator connected to a DMM.

For accuracy, the termination resistance of this connection is used in the

calculations.

Use this procedure and note the measured value for use in these procedures.

1. Connect the BNC-dual banana adapter and 50 Ω BNC feed-through terminator

to the HI and LO inputs of the digital multimeter.

2. Set the digital multimeter to the Ω 2 wires mode.

3. Measure the resistance and note the value as Term_R.

Keep this value available for use in several performance check calculations.

4. Set the digital multimeter to the DCV mode.

NOTE.

Lead resistance is not included in the measurement results when using

four wire ohms. The accuracy is higher especially for small resistances. Use a

four wire method if necessary.
