Title: Sigrok-Support for APPA 150/208/506 / BENNING MM 12 / CM 12 / Sefram 7352B / etc
Post by: Cymaphore on November 02, 2020, 02:06:53 pm
Hi,

I created a driver for lots of APPA-based devices for sigrok this weekend. This includes Multimeters and Clamp Multimeters with USB/Serial and Bluetooth LE.

Currently the driver supports the BENNING MM 12, BENNING CM 12, Sefram 7352B, APPA 506(B), 208(B), 155B, 156B, 157B, 158B and a couple of others under all kinds of brands.

I implemented and tested it with a BENNING MM 12 (APPA 506B). Functions for the other meters with the same communication protocol are implemented, but obviously untested, since I don't have the hardware.

Currently all live reading functions for USB/Serial/BLE are implemented, but log download and calibration will follow when I have the time.

Sigrok-Wikipage for the meter I used, including some pictures:

https://sigrok.org/wiki/BENNING_MM_12

So if anyone here has one of those APPA 150/208/506 based meters, regardless of the brand, I would be happy about any tests with the new sigrok driver.

Here's my github-fork of libsigrok containing the driver "appa-b":

https://github.com/Cymaphore/libsigrok

The driver is currently under review and will be included with mainline sigrok once it passed.

Thanks and best regards,
Martin

hello, looking for APPA 700 Communication Protocol, do you have one available?
i'm trying to implement, expand your appa-dmm driver...
