QtDMM 0.9.2 (c) 2001-2016 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.
