Modern CMOS drivers are very close to rail-rail for low loads.  So for 
quick/dirty, I'd just look at a handy clock signal and assume it goes from 
ground to the power supply.

Be sure you don't look at one with a terminator, aka heavy load.  Series 
termination would be OK.

TI says for their HC04 at 4.5 V Vcc and 20 uA load, 25 C:
  Min 4.4, typ 4.499



I like the DAC suggestion.
