multimeter

[JustMeAgain]

I'm new to the Ego C attys that come with the eRoll...Can someone tell me how you check resistance with a multimeter on these? Do you just put a probe on either end?

Not sure how to do this without threads.

Thanks!

I'm not positive, but I would expect that if you look at the bottom you will find the center piece and the outside housing will give you a reading.

Thanks, daisyd...

You probably know this, but make sure you also check the meter by touching the two probes together to get a reading. My cheapie meter shows about 2 ohms through the probes by themselves, so if my device measures 4.4 ohms, I have to subtract the 2 ohms from it, meaning it's a 2.4 ohm device. Does that make sense?

It does make sense - in fact it's something I was wondering about the other day. When I cross the probes I get .4. I have a Fluke 87 III (ok, so maybe I confiscated it from hubby ) and I was thinking there was supposed to be some way to adjust it to read zero. But just knowing for sure that I need to subtract it from the reading is good enough for me.
