Measuring Resistance Of EGT Probes (CF6)

Hi, folks.

I haven't done much work on this system and was asked to take measurements of each EGT probe on a CF6. The AMM asks you to take a resistance reading across the terminals of each probe, then swap over the pos/neg leads of the meter and measure again (then work out the average).

Some of the measurements were fairly standard, but then others were showing a higher than normal resistance in one direction and a negative resistance(???) in the other.

Is this normal?

Does it have something to do with the Chromel /Alumel (disimilar metals) junctions ... or was I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
Rgds.
