QtDMM 0.9.0 (c) 2001-2014 M.Toussaint
QtDMM is a simple DMM readout software including a configurable transient recorder. A friend of mine asked me for a DMM readout software for Linux because he didn't want to use the MS-Windows version which came with the multimeter. To help him out I wrote this little piece of software. The transient recorder features manual start, scheduled start (at a given time) and triggered automatic start when given thresholds are reached.
If you call QtDMM with the commandline option --console it will display some debug output. This might (or hight not :) help resolve problems.
It was written for Metex (and compatible like VOLTCRAFT) multimeter and is known to work with the following DMM's:
Digitech QM1350
ELV M9803R
MASTECH M9803R
McVoice M-980T
Metex M-3660D
Metex M-3830D
Metex M-3850D
Metex M-3850M
Metex ME-11
Metex ME-22
Metex ME-32
Metex ME-42
Metex Universal system 9160
PeakTech 4010
PeakTech 4390
PeakTech 451
Radioshack 22-805 DMM
Radioshack RS22-168A
Voltcraft M-3650D
Voltcraft M-4660
Voltcraft ME-11
Voltcraft ME-22T
Voltcraft ME-32
Voltcraft VC 670
Voltcraft VC 820
Voltcraft VC 840
Voltcraft VC 870
Voltcraft VC 920
Voltcraft VC 940
The following models should work but need to be confirmed by a user:
Voltcraft ME-42
Voltcraft M-3860
Voltcraft M-4660A
Voltcraft M-4660M
Voltcraft MXD-4660A
Voltcraft VC 630
Voltcraft VC 650
Voltcraft VC 670
If you manage to get QtDMM working with a digital multimeter different from the mentioned above, or if you can confirm one of the unconfirmed models please give a note. For a new multimeter the best would be sending me a saved configuration file.
QtDMM is kind of "works for me" software. I'm using it, I like it the way it is and it seems to be quite stable. It still needs some improvements but does it's job quite well.
