When testing this sensor, I'm testing it by measuring resistance across the pins in the multi-terminal plug on the top of the AFM. Doesn't the act of unpluging the connector to test the resistance ensure it is disconnected? As far as I can tell, there is no way to separate the sensor from the AFM. Greg.
