Hello. I found this thread via Google when I was trying to find more info regarding a pair of UT61E's I bought. I'm actually quite impressed with the meters but the bundled software leaves a lot to be desired. Because I'm a software developer by trade, I decided to write a proper, feature-rich version of the multimeter software. Before you stop reading, I don't plan to charge anything for the software, this is just a hobby of mine. I'll make this software available free for download on my site.
I've got far enough now to be able to sample data properly from the meters. Now I'm implementing the features that I thought would be good to have like.
Ability to monitor multiple meters at once.
Set up triggers based on various criteria (value in range, value rising, value falling, etc)
Triggers can be audible or visual or both. Can even have the sound frequency change as value goes up or down.
Because it'll support multiple meters, having triggers like delta between values changing becomes possible.
also with multiple meters, it'll be possible to measure wattage.
Smoothing of values over variable number of samples, etc.
And of course the usual, gauges, charts, exporting, history, etc.
I'm curious if anybody has any interest in such software or does anyone have any other ideas for features that might be worth implementing?
Tom
