Figure 2-4. 8062A Display
If you are taking a measurement and the OL symbol appears on the display
(Figure 2-5), an overrange condition is indicated, meaning that the input is
higher than the range selected. You should select a higher range for the
measurement. The OL symbol does not necessarily mean that the instrument
is being exposed to a damaging input condition. For example, when
measuring resistance, an open input will cause OL to appear.
