Use Smart Ω to measure leakage current
Use the Smart Ω function to measure leakage current or reverse current for
junction diodes. Such leakage currents are negligible, and are usually measured in
units of μA or nA. Instead of having to source a high precision multimeter with
1 nA or 0.1 nA or a precision shunt, you can measure the leakage current using
the Smart Ω function with just a resistor from 100 kΩ to 300 kΩ.
