Suggestion: change the code that set 0x56 and 0x57 as follows so that they copy direct from 0x50 & 0x51, rather than using hardcoded values.

//Dotless mode calibration data, copied from 0x50, 0x51
writeByte(I2C_ADDR, 0x56, readByte(I2C_ADDR, 0x50));
writeByte(I2C_ADDR, 0x57, readByte(I2C_ADDR, 0x51));

I wonder if any other bytes can be examined to determine the chipset to selectively run the 0660/1106 specific code?
I haven't yet opened up any of my 3 units to do this or see what chips I have... but soon!

I think people like to have their original dump as a backup. But otherwise, you may be on to something with the direct copy and chipset detection.  However, I think eeprom dump is identical from both chipsets (minus the calibration bits)

Don't solder to pin 55 (small SMD cap near chipset) btw.  Just probe it.  I lost 1 meter from it tearing the pad off.

Edit:  Now that I think of it, you should still get an original dump as log as you have the serial monitor window open. I'm not certain about this code working however...

Well, you learn something new everyday.

Milliamps, I meant milliamps!

Who knew?  My cheap UTL (UEI) UTLDM2 is also a 0660 chip!

Not much to mod, brought it from 6000 to 8000 count and extended backlight and auto power-off + disabled alarms.

A tiny bit harder as you have to solder to the legs of the eeprom chip itself.  Nothing too difficult...

Also did the eeprom mods to my ut210e.
6200 Counts works fine, the lower switch point must be changed too as mentioned before. Some interesting stuff in the datasheet.
0x14 -> 0x44
0x15 -> 0x02

I hoped to add Hz measurements to some functions, but this must be set using hardware links i think.
The most interesting thing is the ncv function. I added AC and DC mV measurements. The DC function is not very practical, but you can measure strong static fields. Very interesting.
0x9C -> 0x02 for AC mV ncv
0xAC -> 0x01 for DC mV ncv
The AC mV Function mentioned in the original post is awesome to locate cables and noise sources. Much better than the old 4 bar ncv function :)

You can add up to 4 measurements per function. But sadly not a Hz or Duty Cycle measurement directly via eeprom settings. If someone has any idea if it might be possible anyways let me know.

Which chipset do you have in your 210E?
