Cool, but its time to talk dummy language...

How does that table convert to an Ohms reading? My gauge (old needle type)
read from 0 to 1K.

Great Web Site!

The table is in ohms, 0-1k is 0-1000. There is probably a scale setting
on your meter. Look for 10k or 100k. Worst off you can get a cheap digital
meter at RadioShack, AutoZone, PepBoys, etc.

You 'really' don't want the VOM anywhere near the computer sensors. The
load the meter puts on can fry computer circuits. Same for a test
light.

It's time to step up to a digital multimeter....
