Thansk for your thoughts, Greg. The final choice of processor is probably
going to be influnced more by software development (and learning curve)
that the hardware costs, given that I doubt I'll make even 50 of the
finished NDMM (as it will henceforth be known). I can crash about a bit in
this project,

Yes, my envisioned Nixie DMM will include a frequency counter, but not
fancy period or averaging functions, not much beyond maybe 40MHz.

Thanks for your note.
Well, you can buy "front end" DMM chips that just do the measuring with no
built in display, but some serial I/O to a processor/display/keyboard
combo. That's my route.
Not settled on the processor, yet. I also play with Raspberry Pis, and
while I might use one for early
would love one, and applaud the idea, but that price point will put it

Over almost the last ten years, I have been designing, producing and
selling a variety of logic and PIC Micro-controlled nixie clocks, from
classic 2x3 mux 74141-based designs to multiplexed and direct drive IN18
monsters, to miniature desk clocks and single digit weirdness. I feel I've
