You are looking for intermittent connection with the included conductive plastic resistive element. This does not necessarily require "graphing" the resistance during a sweep of the control shaft. A simple resistance test will usually disclose a problem.

However, the speed of response of the ohm meter is obviously important, so that a multi meter with a bar graph scale is preferable, or better still an oscilloscope. Alternatively there is a way of testing, involving audio devices.

Cheers Trevor.
