3. Set the 5500A to the first test point in Table 4-8.
Use the 5500A “COMP 2 wire” mode for the verifications up to and including 50 kΩ.
For the higher values, the 5500A will turn off the “COMP 2 wire” mode.
4. Observe the Input 1 main reading and check to see if it is within the range shown
under the appropriate column.
5. Continue through the test points.
6. When you are finished, set the 5500A to Standby.
