Title: Does anybody use Fluke Connect software?
Post by: BeBuLamar on December 24, 2024, 10:28:06 pm
I've been using Fluke Connect to do some plotting and I have strange result. Anybody have any experience with this?

I used it years ago to get measurements out of pair of Fluke 189 meters. I didn't like it at all and discovered that the slightest little slip would delete all the data in the meter. If I were you, I'd use the software to extract the data, immediately generate a csv file, save it, then import that into the spreadsheet of your choice for plotting.

To extract data you can also use TestController, it has build in plotting and can save to csv files.

The data is not saved in the meter and I am not talking about the Flukeview software. I am talking about the Fluke Connect software that run on Android and IOS. Via the serial interface the Fluke only does the most 1 reading per second. I need faster than that.

I have Fluke Connect and the IR3000FC and have used it occasionally.  I don't recall it plotting points all that fast although I wasn't needing speed in that case.  What meter and what are you doing?  I can try the same thing on mine if you want.

I use a 189 and the IR3000FC (I have the 287 and 289 too and they all behave the same) and the 374FC. I make the Voltage and Current plot as the flash unit is recycling. Sometimes it works fine like in the picture #1 but sometimes the voltage simply showing that it's going down. This is not true as the meter displaying the correct voltage when it's recording. Only the graph is wrong.
