Hi All, long time no see.
I was having a problem with LED controller failures, so instead of sitting there for hours watching a scope and a multimeter I thought I would get a DMM that had the option of plugging it via USB into a laptop and logging the data to review it from the time it was powered up till failure, which can be minutes or hours.
That was the idea. So I got myself a cheap Digital Multimeter specifically for the task (£30 ish).
It was a Duratool D03122, I got it from CPC/Farnell, it had True RMS monitoring and all the capabilities that I needed plus a lot more that may be useful in the future.
However the big and continuing drawback is that the software for the Data Logging Software is in Chinese.
After many emails to their product technical support I have been sent much software, but its all in Chinese and pretty much useless to me.
Before you bust a gut laughing at this DMM, this is the first time in 20 years that I have wanted Data Logging capabilities and could not justify spending £150+ on a Fluke or other similar DMM.
As the D03122 DMM has been around for the last 4 years, I doubt that I am the only one who has had this problem. Can anyone give me a link to the Data Logging Software in English.
Many thanks for reading this, have a great day.
