Exactly how are VATS values expressed?

[BulletTime]

I'm hoping someone has the definitive answer to this...I'm ordering a blank OEM key from a ebay retailer for my 2000 coupe. I read the Resistance Value memo on the CAC from retired engineer Jerry Watts, and had my existing key read by a technician at my job. The same reading came from two different (expensive) machines:
2.368 kOhms, or 2368 Ohms. The retailer sells the blanks with pellet values (in whole numbers) of 2 through 15; so how does my value fit in? I'm positive that the machines are accurate.
