1. Because standard resistors are used and precision of calculation is ensured, the following restrictions are set up.

  • Range of resistance value: 1Ω ~ 10MΩ

"< 1Ω" is displayed when resistance value is less than 1Ω, "> 10MΩ" is displayed when resistance value is more than 10MΩ.

  • Range of resistance ratio (R1/R2 or R1/R3 or R1/R4 or R2/R3 or R2/R4 or R3/R4) : 0.1 ~ 10 (except for Voltage Dividers)

It has restricted so that it may become the above range automatically by the input text box.

 

2. Although the best performance is achieved, a lot of calculation time is required in E48 and E96.

In the legacy models of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it may take about half a minute until the calculation is completed.
