measure for measure -- do your research.   2009-05-27
By Jeffrey L. Beddow (Minneapolis, MN United States)
After doing my research I knew what to expect when I got this unit. The connection is NOT USB. It is RS-232, which requires an adapter and special installation. The software that comes with the unit is very crude, so you are quire limited in the data collection you can do on your pc. The sample rate, for example, cannot be set to a higher frequency than one sample per second. If you are capturing rapidly changing sample values, you are screwed. If you know how to program a high level language with DLLs, it looks like you could write your own code, but who has the time to do that? Fortunately, my need is simple. I only sample from one point every 5 minutes for 24 hours. The meter works great for that, and the data capture is adequate. If you don't know what RS-232 is, don't buy this meter. If you need to sample something that varies more than once a second, don't buy this meter. If you don't know how to manipulate data effectively in Excel, again, don't buy this meter. Otherwise, it is as advertised. Solidly build, nice sturdy leads, auto ranging, etc. One of its features is very well protected lead plugs -- deep and double insulated. Which rules out using some of the lightweight, older leads you have laying around. The temperature only reads out in C, not in F. Be warned. But it comes with a thermocouple and a very nice storage and carry case. My final caveat is that there seems to be a new generation of USB meters coming out at about a third of the price of this one. Probably not as solid, but that is what they said about mammals vs. dinosaurs, too.
Excellent DMM   2008-07-03
By S. K. K. Lam (Brampton, Ontario)
This is an excellent DMM at a reasonable price. It has some special features such as RS232 interface and frequency and temperature measurements which are normally found in more expensive DMM models from Keithley or HP. I have tried the data acquisition software with the DMM via COM1, and it worked fine on windows XP.
Great and cheap at the same time!   2008-02-19
By M. Thomson
I bought this multimeter when it was only $60. It is a great deal, even at the $80 it is listed at now. All of the functions work perfectly, and they all seem very accurate. It has a ton of functions, AND it auto-ranges, AND it comes with a carrying case, AND it comes with the serial cable and software for logging the data on the computer. They just give you a lot of stuff for a good price.
Inexpensive Multimeter   2007-08-14
By L. Plotkin (Corvallis, OR)
A lot of features for the money, nice carrying case. English problems in the manual and descriptions - could have used some editing from an English-speaking person. I used a RS232 to USB converter cable on the PC output and it made PC hook-up painless. I bought that from Tiger Direct.
