Example output that shows all readings are within limit values (all readings between 3 V and 5 V):
limit 1 results = dmm.FAIL_NONE
limit 2 results = dmm.FAIL_NONE
Example output showing at least one reading failed limit 1 high values (a 6 V reading would cause this
condition or a reading greater than 5 V but less than 7 V):
limit 1 results = dmm.FAIL_HIGH
limit 2 results = dmm.FAIL_NONE
Example output showing at least one reading failed limit 1 and 2 low values (a 0.5 V reading would cause this
condition or a reading less than 1 V):
limit 1 results = dmm.FAIL_LOW
limit 2 results = dmm.FAIL_LOW
