  • PC-controlled multimeter

    I'm looking for recommendations on a computer-controlled
    multimeter to automate a test procedure. I'd like to be
    able to have the computer select voltage, resistance, etc.,
    choose various ranges in each, and transmit readings to a
    PC.

    I see a lot of units that communicate, but I'm unclear
    whether they allow functions and ranges to be set, or
    whether they just transmit results from the range selected
    on the front dial.

    The one unusual requirement is a high resistance range (e.g.
    2000Mohm). ACV/DCV/ohms ranges can otherwise be similar to
    regular handheld units.

    Any suggestions?

    are some programs for UNI-T or similar multimeters.

    Bookmarked, thanks!

    Actually we have a Uni-T at the shop; can't remember
    the model number, though. Given the price of benchtop
    units that John mentioned, maybe I can run multiple
    cheap datalogger units switched in with relays; I
    wondered if there might be a low-cost all-in-one
    alternative I hadn't seen.

    Handy tool!

    Wireless doesn't really offer an advantage in
    this instance, but it's an interesting device.

    Thanks.
