GOM-804/805 Characteristics
GOM-804 and GOM-805 are modern high precision programmable DC
Milli-ohm meters suitable for low resistance measurements of switches, relays,
connectors, PCB tracks and a variety of other devices. The meters feature a
color TFT-LCD screen with easy-to-read measurement results. With the
easy-to-use features, superior performance and automatic test interfaces, these
meters are dependable instruments for resistance measurements.
Easy to Use Each test function on the GOM-804/805 can be easily

Features activated by pressing a single front panel key. All the
settings and measurement results are displayed and set on
the TFT-LCD panel at the same time making each
function naturally intuitive to use.
Each primary and secondary measurement result is
displayed prominently on the display along with any
corresponding settings. For sequential measurement
results, such as those from the scan or binning function,
are tabulated in an intuitive and easy-to-read format.
In addition, the meters can recall previously used settings
upon startup, allowing the meter to be ready the next
time it used in a matter of moments. The meters can also
save or recall up to 20 sets of function settings.
Performance The GOM-804/805 has nine selectable measurement

ranges from 50mΩ to 5MΩ, a constant current source of
1uA to 1A, an accuracy of up to 0.05%, a 1uΩ resolution
and performs measurements using four wire Kelvin
connections for accurate, consistent measurements.
The ability to choose between high accuracy
measurements at 10 samples/sec (full scale at 50000
counts) or high speed measurements at 60 samples/sec
(full scale at 50000 counts), allows the GOM-804/805 the
flexibility to fulfill a number of different measurement
roles.
10
GETTING STARTED
Advanced The GOM-804/805 has a number of advanced

Temperature temperature functions that can be used with the optional
Measurements temperature probe, PT-100.
The temperature compensation function can extrapolate
what the resistance of a DUT will be at a desired
temperature, if the temperature coefficient of the DUT
and the resistance of the DUT at ambient temperature
are known.
The temperature conversion function can be used to
extrapolate what the temperature rise of a DUT will be at
specified resistance if the initial resistance, initial
temperature and the constant for the DUT are known.
Drive Signals The GOM-805 can select a number of different drive

signals to suit a number of different measurement
scenarios, for example the Pulse setting can be used to
cancel the effects of thermoelectric EMF on the
measurement results.
Dry Circuit Dry circuit testing allows the GOM-805 to measure the
Testing contact resistance of switches and connectors according
to the DIN IEC 512 and ASTM B539 standards. The
open circuit voltage will not exceed 20mV in this mode
to prevent the oxidization layer on metal switches and
connector points from breakdown. GOM-805 only.
Automatic For automatic testing The GOM-804/805 has a handler

Testing interface designed for automatic testing. The handler
interface outputs the status of PASS, FAIL, HI, LO,
READY and EOT signals and inputs a trigger control
signal. Automatic testing is used with the binning,
compare and scan functions.
For computer control applications, RS-232 and USB are
standard remote interfaces, with GPIB as standard only
for the GOM-805 and GOM-804G.

Measuring Signal (Drive) Overview
Background Resistance measurement has 5 different measuring signals

that can be applied to obtain a resistance measurement:
DC+, DC-, Pulse, PWM, Zero.
These 5 signals are described in below.

PWM V ON duty
This mode can be used to
~+6.5V avoid heating up the DUT
0V t and thus avoid having the
measurement accuracy
compromised on
temperature-sensitive DUTs.
Zero V In this mode, GOM-805
outputs no measuring signal
0V t on the Source loop; therefore,
the Sense loop can be used as
a voltage meter which can
measure up to +/-10mV for
thermoelectric EMF
measurement. This function
is useful for measuring the
Vemf of thermocouple wires.
31
A note about Thermoelectric EMF

When making low resistance measurements, thermoelectric electromotive
force (Vemf) can affect measurement accuracy. Vemf is created at the junction
of two dissimilar metals, such as the contact point of a test lead and the pin
of a DUT. Vemf adds a small but measurable voltage to the measurement.
There are primarily two different methods to compensate for Vemf in low
resistance measurements: Offset Compensation and Vemf Cancelling. The
GOM-805 uses Vemf Cancelling with the pulse drive signal setting (see page
33).
The Pulse drive mode supplies a positive and a negative measurement current
source.
R
I V
Vemf
This produces a positive and negative measurement voltage across the DUT,
which also includes the Vemf (V1+Vemf & V2+Vemf).
V1
0V Vemf
t
V2
To cancel the Vemf, V2 is deducted from V1 and divided by 2 to get the

average measurement, as shown in the formula below:
(V 1  Vemf )  (V 2  Vemf )

Dry-Circuit Measurement
Background The Dry Circuit measurement function is used where the

maximum open-circuit voltage must be kept to a
minimum for applications such as measuring the contact
resistance of switches, relays and connectors. The
GOM-805 provides a maximum of up to 20mV in this
mode.
Dry circuit testing is for switch and connector contact
Note resistance. Switch and connector contact resistance
measurement is in accordance with DIN IEC 512 and
ASTM B539 which requires that the open circuit voltage
of the measuring device should not exceed 20mV DC.
Voltage at such low levels avoids the breakdown of any
oxides that may be present on the contacts. In this mode
the open circuit measuring voltage is limited <20mV,
while modes like DC+ or pulse mode can have an open
circuit measuring voltage as high as 6.5V.
Dry Limitations When the Dry Circuit measurement function is turned
on, the measurement range is reduced. See the
specifications for more details.

Compare Function
Background The compare function compares a measured value to a
“Reference” value that has an upper (HI) and lower (LO)
limit. If the measured value is within the upper and lower
limit, then the measured value is judged as IN.
There are three compare modes that can be used to make
a judgment: ABS, △% and % modes.
The ABS mode displays the absolute difference between
the measured and the reference value (shown as △) and
compares the measured value to the upper (HI) and
lower (LO) limit. The upper and lower limits are set as
absolute resistance values.

There is only one range for the temperature function.
However the resistance measurement range can still be
changed when in the temperature function.
Note: The temperature measurement function is used in
conjunction with the Ohm measurement function. The
two measurements share the same display, so the Ohm
readings stay on the display even after the temperature
measurement function is activated. Thus when the

Temperature Compensation
Background If the resistance of a DUT at a particular temperature is
needed, the compensation function can be used. This
function can simulate the resistance of a DUT at a
desired temperature. If the ambient temperature and the
temperature coefficient of the DUT are known, it is
possible to determine the resistance of a DUT at any
temperature.
The Temperature Compensation works on the following
formula:
Rt
Rt 0 
1  αt 0(t-t0)
Where:
Rt = Measured resistance value (Ω)
Rt0 = Corrected resistance value (Ω)
T0 = Inferred absolute temperature
t0 = Corrected temperature (ºC)

Temperature Conversion
Background The Temperature Conversion function allows you to
determine the temperature change of a DUT at any given
resistance, if the initial temperature, the inferred zero
resistance temperature for the DUT and the initial
resistance of the DUT are known. The displayed result
can also be the extrapolated to calculate the final
temperature (T) or the extrapolated temperature
difference (△T)*.
Temperature Conversion function works on the following
formula:
R2 t 0  t 2

R1 t 0  t1
Where:
R2 = resistance @ temperature t2
R1 = resistance @ temperature t1
t0 = inferred zero resistance temperature in ºC**
t1 = temperature at R1
t2 =temperature at R2
The temperature conversion function is can be used to
determine the temperature of transformer windings,
electric motors, or other materials where it may not be
practical to embed a temperature sensor.
*(T) Final temperature = t2 = △T +TA

(TA) Ambient temperature = Ambient temperature when
R2 is measured. TA can either by manually measured with
the PT-100 sensor or it can be manually set.
(△T) Extrapolated temperature difference = T - TA
**“Constant” setting on the panel display is equivalent to

the absolute value of the inferred zero resistance
temperature.
56
MEASUREMENT
Common inferred Metallic conductors show increased resistivity when

zero resistance temperature is increased, and likewise show reduced
temperatures resistivity when temperature is reduced. Inferred zero
resistance temperature is simply the inferred temperature
at which the material will have no resistance. This value is
derived from the temperature coefficient of the material.
Note: the inferred zero resistance temperature is an ideal
value, and not a real-world value.

Scan Setup
Background The Scan function sequentially scans up to 100 channels

and grades the resistance of the DUT on each channel to
a reference value. An automated handler or test fixture is
required to interface the DUTs to the measurement
terminals and the scan interface that controls the timing
of each scan.

Automated Handler/Test Fixture
Channel 1 2 3 4 5 6 ····· N
DUT 1~N
Note: The automated handler/test fixture is

user-supplied. Please see your distributor for support and
technical details.
Grading of each DUT is essentially the same as the
compare function (page 41), the difference being the
Scan function will compare up to 100 DUTs sequentially,
whereas the Compare function will compare only one
DUT at a time.
The scan function compares a measured value to a
“Reference” value that has an upper (HI) and lower (LO)
limit. If the measured value is within the upper and lower
limit, then the measured value is judged as IN.
There are two modes that can be used to make a
judgment: ABS and △% modes.
The ABS mode compares the measured value to the
upper (HI) and lower (LO) limits. The upper and lower
limits are set as absolute resistance values.
The △% compare function compares the deviation of
84
the measured value from the reference value as a

percentage.

rules you have to apply when using commands.
Command Syntax
Compatible IEEE488.2 Partial compatibility
Standard
SCPI, 1994 Partial compatibility
Command SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable

Structure Instruments) commands follow a tree-like structure,
organized into nodes. Each level of the command tree is
a node. Each keyword in an SCPI command represents
each node in the command tree. Each keyword (node) of
an SCPI command is separated by a colon (:).
For example, the diagram below shows an SCPI
sub-structure and a command example.
Command Types There are a number of different instrument commands

and queries. A command sends instructions or data to the
unit and a query receives data or status information from
the unit.
Command Types
Simple A single command with/without a

parameter
Example SENSe:FUNCtion OHM

Command Forms Commands and queries have two different forms, long
and short. The command syntax is written with the short
form of the command in capitals and the remainder
(long form) in lower case.
The commands can be written either in capitals or
lower-case, just so long as the short or long forms are
complete. An incomplete command will not be
recognized.

FAQ
FAQ
● What are the different measurement speeds?
● The GOM-804/805 performance does not match the specifications.
What are the different measurement speeds?

There are two measurement speeds for both resistance and temperature
measurement. At the slow measurement rate, the measurement speed is 10
samples/s and at the fast measurement rate the measurement speed is at 60
samples/s.
The GOM-804/805 performance does not match the specifications.
Make sure the device is powered on for at least 30 minutes, is operated at the
slow measurement rate and is within +18°C~+28°C with a humidity not
exceeding 80%. This is necessary to stabilize the unit to match the
specifications.
If there is still a problem, please contact your local dealer or GWInstek at

RTD Sensors
Overview Resistive Thermal Devices (RTDs) are commonly used as

temperature sensors. RTDs change resistance linearly over
a specific range of temperature. The table below shows
some of the inherent features of RTDs compared to
thermocouples.
Feature Description
Accuracy Higher accuracy
Resolution 0.1~1.0˚C, higher resolution
Speed of response Slower
Self-heating Yes
Long term stability Good
Output characteristics Approx. 0.4ohm/˚C, near
linear
Optional Platinum Sensor

Introduction The optional platinum sensor is a PT-100 sensor.
The PT-100 sensor meets the German DIN43760:
1968 3 wire measurement specification.
These sensors are one of the most common
temperature sensors used in industry. These sensors
have a nominal resistance of 100Ω at 0˚C.
The relationship between temperature and resistance
for the PT-100 sensor can be described with the
Gallendarvan Dusen equation shown below:
R RTD =R 0 [1+AT+BT 2 +CT 3 (T-100)]
Where: R RTD is the calculated resistance of the

RTD.
R 0 is the known RTD resistance at 0˚C.
T is the temperature in˚C
A=alpha [I+(delta/100)]
B=-I(alpha)(delta)(Ie-4)
C=-I(alpha)(beta)(Ie-8)
The Alpha (A), Beta (B), Delta (D) values for the
150
APPENDIX
PT-100 sensor are listed below:

Type Standard Alpha Beta Delta Ω @ 0˚C
PT-100 ITS90 0.003850 0.10863 1.49990 100Ω
Temperature Example—Calculating the resistance of a PT-100
Calculation Example RTD at 100˚C (T). The following R0 (Ω at 0˚C),
alpha, beta, and delta values are used for the
PT-100 RTD:
T=100˚C
R 0 ( Ω at 0˚C) = 100 Ω
Alpha=0.003850
Beta=0.10863
Delta=1.49990
A, B, and C are calculated according to equations
listed above:
A=0.00391
B=5.77e-7
C=4.18e-12
The resistance of the RTD at 100˚ C (R100) is then
calculated as follows:
R 100 : =R 0 [1+AT=BT 2 +CT 3 (T-100)]
=100{1+[(0.00391)(100)]+[(-5.77e-7)(100 2 )
+[(-4.18E-12)(100 3 )(100-100)]]}
=138.5 Ω

*When the instrument is set to 50mΩ or 500mΩ ranges, the resistance value
will be changed while connecting or disconnecting the test lead to the panel due
to the different temperature between internal and external parts of the
instrument. Therefore, please wait 1 minute in order to obtain an accurate value
after the test leads have been connected or disconnected.
* When Kelvin clips are used to resume testing after a long period of time,
please wait for a short time to stabilize the measurement.
*Fast and Slow measurement rates have the same specifications. However, the
Slow rate is more accurate as it will correct for any errors associated with
temperature drift that occurs from the difference between the measurement
