I don't know if the fixes for FW 08 have been posted anywhere, but earlier ones are listed in a post by Dave at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-eevblog-bm786-multimeter/msg3624885/#msg3624885 From what Dave has said, firmware updates can only be done by factory or possibly by the distributor. Interesting icon you found. Not seen that in any of the docs. It could be a bug, or a hidden feature not intended for end users. D for diagnostics? D for data? |

Or what does it do? I don't want to screw my meter by accidently entering into some calibration mode, though I have the FW version 08. "D" could stand either for "Dave", or maybe "detonator"? Does it counting back when you activate it? Just checking whether you can log into the forum a second time... It's also interesting that it also has the small lightning symbol like some other meter, but it never shows it. Some legal disputes with Fluke? --- End quote --- Hi, I'm here ^^ That icon only disappears when turning the dial. Luckily there is no tick-tock sound or any counting-down timer :phew: --- Quote from: Kean on October 17, 2021, 01:08:54 pm ---I don't know if the fixes for FW 08 have been posted anywhere, but earlier ones are listed in a post by Dave at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-eevblog-bm786-multimeter/msg3624885/#msg3624885 From what Dave has said, firmware updates can only be done by factory or possibly by the distributor.

Searching around, I found a post from Cymaphore https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-eevblog-bm786-multimeter/msg3625880/#msg3625880 in which he said "Data port for BT is present under the display but unused in the standard BM789." Have seen anyone hacked to that data port :palm: |

Calling it "firmware" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more of a ROM. Brymen sent joe a firmware "update" in the form of a new chip to be soldered in. The calibration was a bit off after he fitted it. TLDR: Whatever "firmware" you got with the meter is what you get. |
