How do I know if my ESD mat is grounded?
Clip one probe to the mat's metal snap or grounding point. Touch the other probe to the furthest point on the mat's surface away from the grounding point. A good mat will either light up the meter's “good” light or indicate a resistance of between 1 million and 10 billion ohms.
