If it went bang with a blue flash there was something else going on, probably bad insulatio= n or dirt in the wrong place. This wouldn't be the fault of 1Mohm versus 10Mohm input impedence. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
