### configure2WireOhm()


Configure the Keithley 2000 to detect 2-wire resistance.


Usage

``` python
configure2WireOhm(
    digits=None,
    count=None,
    window=None,
    NPLC=None,
    dFil=None,
    resistance_range=None,
    rangeAuto=None,
    trigBus=None,
    repeatingFilter=None,
    reset=False,
)
```


#### Parameters


`digits: int = None`  
Number of digits to display (4-8).

`count: int = None`  
Filter count for the digital filter.

`window: float = None`  
Filter window for the digital filter.

`NPLC: int = None`  
Number of power line cycles to integrate over.

`dFil: bool = None`  
If True, turn on the digital filter. If False, window and filter count are ignored.

`resistance_range: float = None`  
Range of the resistance detection. Selected by the instrument to include the value.

`rangeAuto: bool = None`  
Automatic detection of the measurement range. Takes additional time during measurements.

`trigBus: bool = None`  
Sets trigger source to BUS if True.

`repeatingFilter: bool = None`  
If True set the filter to repeating, if False to moving.

`reset: bool = ``False`  
If True, the device is reset prior to configuration. Defaults to False.
