for it, select the desired resistance range, short the test leads together, and
press the REL button. The REL indicator will appear and the display will
read zero. The 8062A will automatically subtract the stored test lead
resistance from subsequent measurements. Other common applications for
relative reference include: offset nulling (dc and ac voltage or current), diode
and transistor matching (diode test), resistor matching ( ) and voltage
deviation (ac and dc voltage).
The use of the relative function with the autoranging k ranges is
restricted to the autoranging k ranges. If you take a reference
reading within the autoranging k range and then use it as a
reference outside autoranging k , or use a reference reading taken
outside autoranging k within the autoranging k , errors will
result. There is no restriction on the use of the relative function
with the fixed resistance ranges or with autoranging M .
