Result Format - QuadTech 1865 Instruction Manual

In No Display only the voltage, mode and range are displayed, with no measured value.
This might be used for security reasons or for the purpose of reducing test time during
remote operation.
When the display is selected as current one needs to keep in mind that the 5kΩ input
impedance and the 1kΩ output voltage source impedance of the unit are in series with the
unknown. For low values of resistance (<20MΩ) the measured current would be the
Charge Voltage/(Z in + Z out + R unknown).

2.6.3.2 Result Format

Setup
Allows selection from two different measurement result formats SCI and ENG, for
scientific or engineering units.
engineering units are expressed in ohms for resistance and amps for current. For example
e 6 in scientific units can be expressed as MΩ in engineering units or e -6 in scientific
units can be expressed as µA in engineering units, this is strictly user preference and
convenience.
When scientific units is selected the results will always be displayed as 5 digits and an
exponent. The 5 digits will be configured as 1 to the left and 4 to the right of the decimal
point. When engineering units is selected the results will be displayed with a minimum
of 4 and maximum of 6 digits, there is always 3 to the right of the decimal point but to
the left there could be 1, 2, or 3 digits depending on value. For example; when the units
is MΩ and depending on the device being measured the display might show 1.123MΩ,
10.123MΩ or even 100.123MΩ.
