reference points against which subsequent readings are compared. One should not expect that the reference scales for meters of different brands and types (resistance /capacitance) will read alike on the same material. The benchmark may be different from one meter type/brand to another because a given meters’ response depends on the material used for calibration and on the meter’s range. -
