What is for " it's as good as dead"?  :-//

Or is You say that project is still perfect?

Well, at least the 'whois' utility says that the domain ultradmm.com has been updated on 2018-08-30T10:30:20Z, so probably its owner has still some interest in it (or perhaps the domain has been sold to somebody else).
I guess you have already tried to contact them via the form?

It's no better than something so long without life that nobody cares about it.  It's forgotten.  Pointless, not even smelling anymore, it's so long ago since it died.  Thanks for asking.

Anyone else notice the noise level go up in the forums recently?  Maybe a bunch of pointless topics started by a particular user? No, it's just me? Ok

Sigrok seems to support a huge number of meters these days. I've not looked into what it does with them though (I only know it for LA support).  https://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware#Multimeters (https://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware#Multimeters)

Payment is often automatic on web services, so taking the website down may be more deliberate than keeping it up. That being said, it's very possible the owner deliberately keeps the domain and the website up for archival purposes or because he thinks he may one day do something with it again. We all have those projects we don't want to give up, but are effectively already dead.

Perhaps they picked up and arduino evaluation board for $50 with a student version of LabVIEW.   Does it really matter why?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Been away a while, life got in the way. UltraDMM isn't dead just yet, I enjoyed working on it so I'm going to support it a bit longer while I work on a successor.
