I beat myself for weeks. I cannot decide between BM235 vs. BM257s
Why do you prefer 257s over BM235? It's only 10 euro difference in Germany.

Anyway, does the software work on Linux?

I know. 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!

(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.

235 has two level EF testing, AVG record mode, Beeplit continuity, and VFD.
257 has a bargraph and serial.
