Ken & Dieter, Thank you, but none of those really met my criteria. I¹m looking for a piece of stand-alone test equipment, a multimeter, where I can set a limit and have the thing generate an audible tone (like during continuity testing) if the preset level is exceeded (or if a measured value is below the preset minimum). Datalogging is not of interest what I need is a real-time alarm which I don¹t have to visually monitor.
It just seems like this should exist, and would be extremely valuable for a test facility to have available, custom configurable for a wide variety of thresholds.
