Nickus,

 

Forgive my ignorance.  What is the multimeter used for?  Measuring voltages and 
currents in electric circuits etc.?

 

Thanks

Hi all

I’ll happily share with the list, I just didn’t think there will be a lot of 
interest, so didn’t want to bug the list with long discussions etc.

 

I’m not even sure of the companies name, as said they are in Russia.

The guys name is Maxim Pavlov you can email him for all info  
<mailto:ma...@sinor.ru> ma...@sinor.ru

 

The price is $80 there is a version with and without temperature measurement, 
both cost the same.

I paid $50 for courier shipping and it took 11 days to reach me, I paid them 
via Paypal.

 

As I understand, this is actually a normal mainstream multimeter which they 
then program to output synthesised speech via the RS232 communication port.

It has a rechargeable battery and charges via USB cable which is included with 
the product.

 

You will have a option of voices, he will send you sample files, out of the 3 
english voices he sent me, I opted for the female one.

You will also have the option to have a braille label cut out on the top for 
all modes, or you can choose that they make a cutout for you with only a couple 
of dots marking modes which you choose. I went for the braille label cutout 
since I thought it would be kind of cool, but turns out this doesn’t work too 
well. The space is very limited so everything is squeezed in quite tight, 
result is that most of the braille gets cut off. If I could choose again, I’d 
take the option of only a couple of dots on the top then memorise the modes I 
need most. This label isn’t fixed though, it’s a thick piece of cardboard so at 
some point I’ll just make a new one with a couple of dots on the modes which I 
use most.

 

Finally you can also choose to have them put a button on the positive probe for 
you, when you press this button it will speak the value on screen, I went for 
this option and it works great rather than the thing talking and talking non 
stop.

 

If you have any questions, I’ll happily answer so ask away.

 

Nickus
