I set the voltage at 10 V, so 1 GΩ would give me 10 mV out of the divider, 10 GΩ gave 1 mV, 100 GΩ gave 100 μV, and so forth.How much Vin was?

Having set up a I-V tester vs temperature (-80 to 200 C) system to activation energy of semiconductors, it's just a real pain. For really high values of resistance, I'd set the electrometer to Coulombs mode and Zero it somewhere after switching modes for some measurements and count coulombs for 60 seconds and divide by 60. 2 pA at 100 V was a relatively stable number. e.g. R=100V/2e-12AWow, 2TΩ!! All secured to a two mundane (are they?) crocs?? And then the sandapaper... Not a game I could expect to play in this life, it seems.
Please see page #13 of the PDF linked in post #32 on this thread for an application example of a 220GΩ 'lumped resistance' -- again, I will endeavor to upload a photographic image of said component this afternoon/eveningBTW, could you mention one or two components (are there some?) measuring some GΩ?
What can we say? -- To render the (well neigh) late Radio Shack --- You've got questions - we've got answers!Wow... I've rarely seen a thread go so far on so little.
Cur the circuit open.Where does one get a 100GΩ resistor?
