Ok, that should actually be sufficient for this device. This SourceMeter voltage is stable within a few tens of microvolts, so using microvolts as my working units and setting MRES to 1e-6 seems to be working fine. Thank you.

You have a 32-bit dynamic range to work with. So you need to decide units that the motor record will use e.g. nV and set MRES to give you the best resolution you can get without overflowing 32-bits if the current is too high. Your driver will scale back from the motor integer units to device units.
