Phil,
        We routinely use a flying probe tester (and have for the last 15
years).  Our selected criteria are 10 ohms maximum for continuity to be
verified and 10 Megohms minimum for anti-continuity to be considered OK.
We can select other values both above and below these.  In short (no pun
intended but it sounded cute after I typed it), we could meet the
requirements.

>The test requirement is basically as follows
>   1. Test continuity and shorts using IPC-ET-652 with the folowing
>parameters:
>       A.   Resistance of any circuit shall not exceed 50 ohms for Class 1,
>or 20 ohms for              class 2 and 3.  For lengthy circuits specify what
>you need.
>       B.   Isolation resistance shall be greater than 0.5 megohm for class 1
>and 2.0               megohms for class 3.  Voltage is selected is sufficient
>to provide resolution,               but if not specified, it is 40 volts.

>Presently I have received information that these parameters could not be used
>for flying probe testers.  If this is so, I would like some advice on what it
