GENERAL.
a. mm Mode. The Model 164 serves as a line aper­ated 3-l/2 digit multimeter having wide ranges for measllrement of voltage, currerlt, and resiseance. I" the D"M mode. the 164 offers seven dc volrage ranges
(from 1 microvolt per digit to 1000 volts). eight dc current ranges (from 0.1 nanoampere per digif to 2 amperes), and eight resistance ranges (from 0.1 ohm per digit LO 2000 megohms).
b. Milliobmmerer-Obmeter Mode. The Model 164 also Provides five additional resistance ra"ze8 for mas";eme"fa requiring resolution to 10 microbm per digit. Four-terminal measurement technique minimizes the effects of lead and contact resistance in 1orre­sistance measurements.
C. Electronic High/Low Limit Trip option. The Model 164TT provides independent electronic trip CirCUitS for high and low limits. me trips are "on-latching. to= lamps, the Model 164TT offers rear panel r-e­lay contacts.

b. Noise Considerations. The limit of resolution

low-level noise is present in some form in nearly al1 electrical circuits. The instrument does not distin­guish between stray and signal voltages since it mea­sures the net voltage. When using the 1 mV and 10 mV ranges, consider the presence of low-level elecrrical phenomena such a~ thermocouples (thermoelectric ef­fect,, flexing of coaxial cables (triboelectric ef­fect), apparent residual charges on capacitors (die­lectric absorption,, and battery actFan of two dFf-
ferenr contact materials (galvanic action).
