value you get is too high, but it's worth noticing that your hands
offer some resistance as well. If you try to measure eg a 10M resistor
and hold a finger on each probe, your body will form a parallel
resistor with the one you're trying to measure, and will bring down
the value. It doesn't matter for anything <10k but might become very
noticeable at 10M and up. Solution: Only secure the resistor with one
hand don't touch the other side of the resistor with your other hand.

> Yes, that could well be true. It's not a Fluke or anything fancy, but nonetheless not the cheapest one either... Though I get a bit suspicious when I see that it steps (it's not an autorange) from 2M to 20M and then to 200M.I don't see how it would matter in your particular case since the
