Abstract

Translate

Inexpensive battery-operated digital multimeters with built-in serial ports are now available from a number of suppliers and can, in principle, be interfaced easily to any microcomputer or personal digital assistant. Instructions on connecting a Metex multimeter to a PC or Macintosh microcomputer to implement a versatile data logger that can continuously store any electrical parameter measured by the multimeter are discussed.
