I don't understand why you say "it doesn't matter because the value is too high", Ove ? Of course it matters - I need 22M, not 32M.
10M + 10M + 2M in series ought to be (around) 22M...
I measure pre-mounted, and I don't touch anything with my hands; just using the probes.
Not sure what you're trying to say here, Ove ?
