Lots of great comments in response to my original query on the test fixture ... and how to get the best results from it.

It seems to me, though, that for most of us it isn't important that we know whether a CMC is 525 ohms instead of 500, or 9,000 instead of 10,000.  Being appreciably better than some target value is probably all we need.

Also, in many cases where we are trying to get a handle on what works and what doesn't, merely having enough repeatability to know whether one test subject is appreciably better than a different test subject is useful even if the accuracy is not the greatest.

It sounds like ... within reason ... that test fixture when used properly might satisfy either situation.  I hope the folks who replied saying they bought one will let us know what they conclude.
