Resistance Measurement / Test Lead Compensation
The multimeter automatically
selects the most appropriate
measurement range (auto ran-
ging). The function key
is
used for manual measurement
range selection.
If the display cannot be seen during
the measurement or if the value is
fluctuating, the measurement value
can be frozen by pressing key

5.5.1 Test Lead Compensation
When measuring a small resistance
value, the test lead resistance is of
particular importance.
The Hexagon Multimeters are equip-
ped with an integrated test lead
compensation feature to eliminate
any test lead resistance values.
