First, thanks to Brad O for trying to help me to find a (somewhat) rational way to by a DMM6500 in Thailand last year. I tried several ways but finally gave it up.
This year however, I decided to bite the dust and try to navigate myself through element14's web page in Thai (the flag button for English does not only change the language - it also sends you to the UK web page that of course cannot sell and ship to Thailand). So with the help of translation tools and dumb luck (there is no way known to me for translating button and menu text, so you just push/choose and hope for the best ...)
I managed to buy a meter more or less blindly
They have now debited my card
I have read most of the thread before, but I would like fresh answers:
1) Can I get the calibration data after I have the serial number? If so, how?
2) Is there a free Kickstart now? Or a test license?
3) I would like to have RS232 or GPIB data out (instrument control is not important for me), but I did not buy any modules. I find them high priced. So I ask if there is a way to set the instrument in 'Talk-Only' mode so that it streams data that can be sniffed by the hobbyist?
Thanks.
