Mixing mismatched probe and extension cable lengths (e.g., pairing a 1m probe with a 5m extension instead of a 4m extension) alters system impedance, causing severe calibration and linearity errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How can I test if the probe tip has suffered internal cracking due to over-tightening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Measure both loop resistance (should be within manufacturer nominal specs) and insulation resistance (shield-to-core resistance using a high-impedance meter).
