mdFluke is a simple and small piece of windows software to view and log data from a Fluke (bench) multimeter. It was actually a spin-off when replacing the DE-9 connector on my Fluke 45 with a micro USB port: |

| HTML Version HTML mdFluke2 0.1 (2022-06-09) |
| This is very early development ! If this is the right way forward it has the great advantage that it is platform independant and works on Win/Mac/Linux or even on mobiles/tablets without any installs/dependancies. The big downside is that this is my very first html/js/css development, so I am really looking for feedback, tips and even code-improvements from others! Current issues: - Connecting does not always work. Retry until connected. - Not much error handling implemented yet |
