Ahh Thank you for tht explanation. That makes total sense.

I am having an issue with flucuating resistance myself. I can put a thick copper wire in the posts and it will read .oo8 steady no change but no matter whether I use TI or stainless and I have tried straight peices with noils even and I could not get the .001-.002 of fluctuation to stop and hold steady for more than a few seconds and I have ben trying fr hours. A lot of times the analyzer freezes with an error message and I have to unplg and plug the usb back in and the usb connector itself is not a solid connection. If I move the wire it will disconnect or stop reading for second and I have tried different cables too and nothing helps. I have tried cleaning the connector but that was of no help. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
