Cody, The traditional way to make low-resistance measurements is with a 4-Wire "Kelvin" measurement-- see http://www.cirris.com/testing/resistance/fourwire.html Quite a few of the medium- and higher-priced digital multimeters (DMM's) have this capability. On the GenRad 227X testers that we used to use at IBM Lexington/Lexmark in the 1980's/1990'a, we could configure a 6-wire measurement that added a drive wire and a sense wire for "guard" points. This was for in-circuit measurement of resistors in configurations like Rx NODE1 -----o---------/\/\/\----------o------- NODE2 ! ! ! ! ! Ry Rz ! +---/\/\/\---o---/\/\/\---+ NODE3 where Rx, Ry, and Rz were all low resistances. It's been over 16 years since I last worked with the GenRads, and I no longer have the manuals, so I don't recall the exact circuit configuration in the testers. But we could measure shunt resistors in power-supply circuits down to about the 50 milli-ohm range with about 3% accuracy in mass production.
