A few days later the multimeter arrived, complete with battery, test leads, USB cable, a temperature probe, a CD with drivers and software, and an instruction manual.
The device makes a reasonable impression and also does essentially what makes a multimeter. Did I not expect otherwise, for me was the USB part of the exciting.
The Windows software could be installed properly and worked right away. The output is a bit rudimentary but thanks to the Excel export of data problems continue to be used.
Since I am die hard Linux users, me the following sentence had induced in the product description mainly for sale: "Under Linux eg qtdmm can be used to transmit the measured values to the PC.".
So I want to try. Unfortunately, the device is not known in the program and on the website of qtdmm. Which interface parameters I should set as now? I have never found anything, and the manufacturer is silent itself.
Using the Windows software I then came behind it and want this also reveal, so one or the other buyer finds Supports here:
The necessary settings are: 2400/8 / N / 1 (2400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity), 6000 counts. The protocol is 14 bytes binary, continuous (VC820)
Thus, it runs fine. Interestingly, the data protocol is compatible with the VOLTCRAFT VC 820 by Conrad. Since you can certainly find more software.
I had been thinking, if I may depart a star because of economical documentation. The manual is really only a few copied slips. Call and qtdmm support but no details advertise is already a bit cheeky. But because the price-performance ratio is so good, I also like a bit of your own research into account. Therefore, it remains at 5 stars.
