MEASUREMENT OPERATION GUIDE 

 
This section contains information regarding the measurement of probes in the range of 1m ohm to 
100k ohms.  This guide is provided for manual front panel control of the model 6622A Series 
bridge with the T-Option installed.  An operation guide for full automatic control of the model 
6622A bridge, in thermometry applications, is provided in the BridgeWorks-C Software User’s 
Manual. 
 

3.5.1.

 

Thermometry Measurement Mode 

 

The model 6622A in its Thermometry Measurement Mode is similar to Normal Ohm mode 
but is enables measurement of PRT and SPRT probes in the range of 1 m

 to 100 k

.  The 

following steps outline the general procedure for making Normal Ohm measurements. 
Figure 3-4 shows a typical rear panel connection for this measurement mode.  The setup is 
the same as for the Normal mode described in the 6622A Operator’s Manual OM6622A, 
except select the 'Probe' mode is enabled and the subsequent 'ITS-90', 'IPTS-68', or 'IEC-
751' selection is made in step 4,

Table 3-1 : Recommended Temperature Measurement Test Setup 

 

NOTE: 1. It is recommended to use the “Quick” mode of operation for the model 6622A 

when making temperature measurements to remove all digital filtering and 
improve measurement latency.  Also using “Update Mode 2”  sets the sample 
timing to match the reversal rate.  These settings are best suited for high speed, 
unfiltered data as required for most temperature applications. 

 

  2. Itest is based on a 100  µW to 1  mW power dissipation in the PRT at the triple 

point of water and maintaining less than 10 mW in the standard.
