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
Ω
to 100 k
Ω
. 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.
