set internal data such as company,contact,operator,or site
display realtime measurements
set available record names list
display configuration informations

This is a complete rewrite of Fredrik Valeur dmm_util
Previous one was written in Ruby. This one is written in Python 3.
There are also some changes to the code.

Prerequisites:

Python 3.10+ and pyserial must have been installed before use.

many things have been added as we go along. So the code is not optimal.

Important
All the data displayed are those returned by the multimeter.
None is calculated or processed

How to install it:

- Using PyPi (the simplest way)
  Latest release can be installed by typing:
  python -m pip install fluke_28x_dmm_util

You can run the utility:
python -m fluke_28x_dmm_util -p port...

- From github (newest version):
  Latest commit can be used by typing:
  git clone https://github.com/N0ury/dmm_util.git

In this second case there are then two ways for running the utility

without install
 cd dmm_util
 python -m fluke_28x_dmm_util -p port...
with install
cd dmm_util
python setup.py install
or
python setup.py install --user (if permission denied)
And then use with:
python -m fluke_28x_dmm_util -p port...

- From Github releasehttps://github.com/N0ury/dmm_util/releases
  Get the latest release and unzip (or gunzip) it
  cd to the folder that has been created and run the utility as shown above.

Common issues

  File "python3_dmm_util.py", line nn
    match len(name):
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You are using Python version less than 3.10, consider upgrading.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python3_dmm_util.py", line 4, in <module>
    import serial
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

pyserial module is needed. Install it this way
