You're right, I'm not sure why I typed that.
I guess I wasn't thinking clearly on that one!
[quote BigGuynRusty][quote mikebw]Zero ohms means no resistance, and on many digital multimeters "OL" or overload also means zero resistance. You just failed my "Basic MutiMeter Class" mikebw!!
Zero Ohms is Zero Ohms.
~BUT~
OL means INFINITE Resistance, NOT Zero!!
To put it in other words.:
Zero Ohms is a "Short".
Infinite Ohms is an "Open".
I don't know of one Digital or Analog meter where "OL" means Zero Ohms while reading resistance!
