Logging multimeter that will not break the bank?
(1/6) > >>
vtwin@cox.net:
I dropped my circa 1985 Extech multimeter and broke it :(

I guess I cannot complain, it gave me 37 years of dependable service.

Now I'm in the market for another multimeter, and I'd like to get a unit with logging capacity and bluetooth connectivity.

The Extech GX900 looked like a candidate, but it appears to be no longer available and the few places that have it offer it for insanely high prices where I should just purchase a Fluke 289.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a portable unit which offers similar functionality but does not require forgoing a small mortgage payment to purchase?

This is for home/hobby (e.g. ham radio) use, not industrial/development use.

There's a few Anengs with hluetooth for not much money.

For serial port logging there's many Brymens and the UT61E+

I don't know of a meter with serial and bluetooth though.

I have an old Micronta DMM with a serial port that I have no use for.  I think it measures capacitance and frequency also.

Well, there's this:

The problem with bluetooth is that they typically use some phone app rather than simply presenting itself as a generic bluetooth serial port that you can talk to.

PC communication is the most useful part of an advanced meter. The internal logging data has to be transferred off the multimeter to be useful. The amount of logging points can also be a limitation sometimes. Last time i needed to do a lot of logging i just used a bench DMM connected to a laptop over GPIB and the laptop was doing the logging to disk(the thing needed to run for days and collect a lot of data).
