What is a resistance measurement?
The resistance measurement of a TiePie oscilloscope like the Automotive Test Scope ATS610004DW-XMSG, Automotive Test Scope ATS605004DW-XMS, Automotive Test Scope ATS5004DW, Automotive Test Scope ATS610004D-XMSG, Automotive Test Scope ATS605004D-XMS or Automotive Test Scope ATS5004D can be used to measure a constant of variable resistance. In contrast to the resistance measurement of a multi meter, the resistance measurement of a TiePie oscilloscope is fast enough to measure a potentiometer, so that the complete carbon track can be checked.
How do I perform a resistance measurement?

To compensate for the resistance of the measurement leads, the resistance measurement can zeroed. After opening the file in Multi Channel oscilloscope software, this can be done as follows:
- Perform a oneshot measurement while holding the measurement probes or 4mm plugs against each other.
- In the right mouse button menu of the Gain/Offset I/O click on Neutralize.
The resistance measurement can be performed by clicking on the start button or use the hotkey S. See figure 1 for a performed resistance measurement.
