You need to  touch one probe to the outer end and the other probe to 
the center brass connection. Both probes should be on bits of metal. 
You can test your setup first by touching the probes together to make 
sure they register zero. For this measurement, if your meter is not 
auto-ranging, you should set the scale at R x 1k.
