Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into V/Ω input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the Ω function.
5. Connect test leads to circuit to be measured.
6. Read the resistance value on the 296.
Optional Modes

Do not attempt to make resistance measurements with
circuit energized. For best results, remove the resistor
completely from circuit before attempting to measure it.
NOTE:
To make accurate low ohm measurements, short the
ends of the test leads together and record the resistance
reading. Deduct this value from actual readings.
