Fluke custom USB-IR cable
turbo!:
I think the biggest issue is the software. Limited protocol can be found online which I believe is really meant for calibration service as it includes the calibration button feature. The command set and data format needed to program the DMM, download data nd interpret the data as done by FVF is not available :(

Interesting !

In principle, the 287 is same structure

Nice Job! Which components are equivalents for your :
* ST-7L,ST3811 : Photo Transistor(Diode) or equivalent
EL-7L,SI3317 : Infrared Emitting Diodes(IRED) or equivalent
*
because they are pretty hard to get in europe.

I built a very similar cable for my B&K 5360 (aka Metrix MX53), but I simplified it even more. I just used a $1 USB to TTL UART dongle, an IR LED, phototransistor and two resistors. The UART Tx drives the LED directly (through a resistor to Vcc), and the phototransistor (along with a pull-up resistor) drives the Rx directly. The pull-up resistor is tuned according to the signal strength, to give a good pulse shape.

Hello,
Anything will do.
Maybe we can find a cheaper model .
Thanks!
