The BRUA-20X USB Interface cost 25 euro, so 35 euro difference for a feature the I do not plan to use soon. Anyway, does the software work on Linux? --- End quote --- The software include with the interface: NO My software for all kind of meters and other devices: YES https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/program-that-can-log-from-many-multimeters/ --- End quote --- Also: https://sigrok.org/wiki/Brymen_BM257s |

I have seen that comment some time ago. 1V diode test in BM257s is a bummer. Because of that, I keep staring back at 235. I would find BeepLit Continuity Tester useful too. Cheers! |

Cheers! --- End quote --- (Not my comment). Well, I think most people around here will conclude that one must simply own several meters. ;D And sometimes you do need to measure two or more things at the same time. In my case I wanted the 257's bar graph more than the 235's diode test voltage, and I disliked the 235's blue backlight. |
