Fluke 287 Connectivity
Gandalf_Sr:
I may be able to get a 287 at a reasonable price but it's missing the weird looking USB connector. Can anyone tell me what I need to connect a 287 to a PC? Also comments on the meter in general are welcomed.

Gandalf_Sr:
OK, I get it, RTFM.
But here's some questions:
1 Can I connect via BT or physical serial port?
2 If yes to 1, what are the settings?
3 What applications run on the PC?
MikeLud:
You can also use the below USB adapter

The USB cable has a serial bridge chip (probably FTDI) in it that will create a virtual serial port so on Windows it will enumerate as COMn, for example COM3. The communication type is human-readable text. The way I use it is through a Python program but of course there are numerous ways depending what you want to do.
here is some documation about the interface cable.
