200 - >200 - 299 - 500

why not put >1 but < ∞. :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

Ha ha ha....^^^^^^^ love it.

It's simple mate if my meter has a max reading of > 299 Mohms then that's what I enter in the box >299 if it is less than my meter's Max then that's what goes on the box, it's not flipping rocket science is it? come on mate get real will you.

I am not saying it is. It was just supposed to be a light hearted chat. Bloody hell!!!

Stay out of it then.

working on the railway, can't you just say it's the wrong sort of ohms?

I actually asked about that once to a Network Rail MOM as they are called. He took it very seriously and after a 10 minute explanation I wish I had never asked...

If you're using a windoze device you should be able to open a run box and type in 'charmap' (without the ' marks) and you can copy the symbols from there and paste them into a document or even into the forum reply box.

If you're using a Crapple device you'll probably need to pay extra for the character map license and you'll probably only be able to copy the symbols via your itunes account which will add DRM and probably charge you extra for it as well.

What the meter says

I am looking for off scale with my baby every time .lol

It would be incorrect to put 200. This is the just the maximum that the meter can show on this range - the actual figure is something above 200 but which the meter cannot read and/or display, so the figure is actually '>200'. Daz

You should always note it down as what your meter says, so if you are pulled up for it at a later date you can show them your meter and say thats what it shows so that is what I write down. No symbols indicating > or < should be used unless that is what you IR meter says.

I see what you're saying, but the 200 is showing because the meter has reached the top of it's reading capability. The actual reading is above this. Of course, there is a slim chance that the circuit resistance could actually be bang on 200M ! Daz

If the meter displays 200 how can you say the reading is above that ? behave yourself

If an analogue meter swings over to infinity, the reading is not infinity. Daz
