Almost all resistors pinned with a power rating of up to 1 watt are marked with color bands. On every pinned through hole resistor, there are colored bands which denote the value of resistance in the resistor. To overcome this, resistor color coding is introduced. There are various values of resistors available from some ohms to millions of ohms.

For instance, a resistor with alligator clips like the photo above cannot be clipped across a couple points that are already connected by a wire. The ohm resistance MUST be inserted in series in the loop. That lack of an explanation of why the resistor is necessary bothered me and made it harder to remember where the resistor needed to be. My instrumentation instructor, who was an instrument technician for many years, said that a Ohm resistor in series with the power supply was necessary but never explained why.

If a HART communicator or HART modem fails to establish communications, it is advisable to insert a ohm resistor in series in the loop or use the banana plug adapter with a communicator. Connect a ohm resistor with alligator clips, like this one, to a wiring terminal and a loose wire in a loop circuit to test HART communications at the benchtop. The resistor need not be a precision resistor. The internal resistance of a DC power supply is insufficient to develop a HART voltage drop, and its filter capacitors act as a low pass filter to squelch the relatively high frequency baud HART signal. Why is that? The current signal becomes a voltage drop when the current passes through a resistor Ohms Law.
