Software wanted for the (rather old) Maplin N56FU multimeter
« on: August 17, 2015, 08:57:37 pm »
I have a need to do some long term data logging and was going to drag my old Maplin N65FU multimeter out but I can't find the software for it anywhere. I am hoping that someone on this forum has a copy that they can send me.

I found a posting somewhere that said that it was a badged version of a Chinese meter and I downloaded the software for that meter and it looked absolutely identical. When I tried it it just didn't display any data which was odd because I could see the meter pumping the stuff out if I connected a terminal program to it. Turns out that the meter runs at 2400 baud and the software at 4800 - bugger!  |O And there is no way of changing it.

So if anyone has the Maplin software I would be mega grateful.

That was probably the review and teardown of an N56FU I posted here a few months ago.

PM me with your email address and I will send a copy of the software.

Thanks Rolycat. Just PM'd you. I should have tried here first rather than wasting at a conservative estimate five hours searching the web.
