HP 34401a DMM with leaking segments
iMo:
I've been using rs232 to HC-05. Powered from the meter.
coromonadalix:
You could use an i/o line to switch of your vfd
You have pio2 thru 11 to play with ...

the command at page 11 section 17 should give you what you need

just add you on / off circuit on pio line Ie : an small npn transistor with an small 5v relay ??
iMo:
I plan to use an MCU put inside the meter for such tasks..
The HC-05 will stay outside the box.
PS: the toggling with PIO pins works in AT mode only, afaik.
I've been using it as a dumb serial device passing bytes at 9k6 8N2 to/from the meter.
coromonadalix:
The 34401 can constantly output " talk only " if you set it to adress 31 and select gpib or rs232 output ??
From Keysight
In the "talk only" mode, the Agilent 34401A automatically sends readings directly to the GP-IB or RS-232 port. To enable the "talk only" mode, first set the HP-IB address to "31" using the front-panel I/O Menu. Then, select either the GP-IB or RS-232 interface (also in the I/O Menu)
iMo:
Yes it can do via rs232 with the 31 address. It sends out strings (scientific floating point, like "+9.99995790E+00") with results.
For example you may read the rs232 strings with an external MCU and display them on any display you wish then..
PS: the filament changes its resistance when ON, imho. So the current will be smaller after the filament heats up..
