| Seriously, anyone know the story and meaning of "OL" on multimeters? |

I always thought of it that way. Perhaps I read an instruction manual or three. And the seven segment display rational makes sense. But so does the idea of a Voltage being too large for the device to handle. That is the classic definition of an OverLoad: too much of a load for the device to handle. --- Quote from: xmo on November 03, 2018, 03:03:02 pm ---macboy wrote: "I can't believe overload is leading the poll." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's probably the leader because that's what it means. At least according to what the manufacturers say in their manuals. Keysight: "OL - Overload (the reading exceeds the display range)" Fluke: "If the input signal is greater than the selected range can measure,the Meter displays overload" --- End quote --- |

"Oh Lordy" or error code 70 upside down? My meter helpfully reads HI and L0 Maybe "b5" for Blue Smoke? |

I wonder if Japanese multimeter manufacturers use "OL" (オーエル) on meters :) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/japanese-english/ol |
