Abstract
The method of measurement of two-terminal cryogenic and four-terminal room-temperature resistors using a DC cryogenic current comparator bridge is well established. A bridge which is based on this technique and is fully automated with a computer controlling both the measurement current and the readings of the bridge imbalance current is described. The bridge is designed to measure integer ratios of 1:1 to 1:25 of four-terminal room-temperature resistors in the range 1 Omega to 10 k Omega . An overall accuracy of 1 part in 10/sup 9/ for differences in the ratio from nominal of up to 100 p.p.m. is desired. Some initial determinations of the resolution have been made for a measurement of 10 Omega :100 Omega . These determinations were carried out without the balance servo, and the output from the null detector was measured with a digital voltmeter connected to the computer. An analysis of a set of 11 reversals gave a standard deviation for a single reversal of 1 part in 10/sup 8/ and therefore a standard error of the mean of 3 parts in 10/sup 9/. >
