Go to help and press English manual and you get PDF file with instructions how create your cable (repeating my design is not necessary you can use another microcontroller or even arduino)

The problem with downloading and installing software from the internet is a very real problem but then when genuine good intentions are behind it and the software offers something of value it would be nice to have a sandbox to try it. Perhaps a good idea to maintain an old laptop with an image and try it on that. If it gets hosed you have the image to reset things and you haven't risked your everyday PC's.
I have, in fact, about 4 such laptops.
I am very tempted to get the BM869S from TEM and having software to do PC based analysis and logging would be great.
To the OP, I haven't gone to you dropbox yet and would like to know if you have details on the connector you made up for it.

Besides it being a fun little project for you to work on, what's the benefit? Looking at your other link (I did not read it), I assume by the time I have made a board, by the PIC and other parts and maybe get it working there will be more than $5 invested. The meter was $230 new. I think they only wanted $40 more for the cable and software. I didn't have a need for it but had I that would not be a bad price. For my own home use, normally if I am trying to automate something it requires more than a meter. Mainly why I use LabVIEW. Had Brymen offered support of LabVIEW, I may have picked it up.
So, what features does your software have that the OEM package does not? Is it more reliable? Save to some other file formats?

Obviously buying the official $40 kit from Brymen will be a fully-working solution straight away and very unlikely to have bugs/issues. This is just for those DIY'ers who want to build something cool and maybe learn a bit about it along the way. I think it's a very neat project and since I own a Brymen BM867 I'll likely be building up this design myself, because I want to.
