We will shortly be using NI PXI 4070 DMM's.
I'm trying to establish how much over a resistance range that a resistance value may still be read,
For instance, could I measure a 105 Ohm resistor on the 100 Ohm range, or a 1050 Ohm resistor on the 1k range?
I can't see this information published anywhere.... and yes, I do have reasons for doing this 🙂
Thanks
Alan

Hi Alan,
The DMMs do have the ability to measure a signal that is a little above their range. There is a page in the DMM Help on Overrange that unfortunatly isn't displaying on the web so I have attached a screenshot of it. Depending on the Range and Function the DMM will usually allow measurements (with an Overrange warning) up to 105% of the range before returning NaN as results.

Perfect answer - just what I was looking for thanks!
