Limits

The Microplate Reader displays absorbance readings with absolute values as 3.500. Out-of-range absorbance
values, (those with absolute values greater than 3.500) are displayed as either "*.***" or "-*.***". For example, if
the absorbance is 4.500, then the display will read "*.***", and if the absorbance is -4.500, the display will read
"-*.***".
