interfacing TENMA 72-7730 to pc with V3.00
« on: January 28, 2021, 02:30:23 pm »
Hi,
anybody here who tried to connect the TENMA 72-7730 multimeter to a windows 10 pc running the pc interface software V3.00?
I am still trying to get it connected - no luck so far.
I need to record an electrical current for a few days with on off periods of 90min an 270 min
kind regards

Yes, I have it working - at least on a 72-7730A.
Did you enable the SEND mode by holding down MAX/MIN button for 2 seconds?  Pressing EXIT will turn it off again.
The one bug I see is if data reception times out, then you may have to click "USB Disconnect" to reconnect again.

Not all software will log for a few days, you may also have have problems with the battery lifetime.

TestController can easily do that (can also do a few weeks) and I do support 72-7730 (I hope, it is based on another meter that is supposed to be the same).

Excellent - I've been meaning to try it out myself.
