Subject: [volt-nuts] Semi-precision high resistance measurement



Any ideas as to what's going on? How can I improve my measurement procedure to get repeatable results? Do I really need better climate control even at the 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 digit level of precision? What's with the polarity sensitivity of the 8050A resistance measurements? Suggestions and advice would be gratefully accepted.

Best regards,
-Steve

On the high value resistors, did you clean them well with 99% dry isopropyl alcohol (or maybe acetone) after you handled them? The oils on your skin are very conductive when measuring in the high megohm region.


Regards,
Tom
