I don’t think that there was any further refinement in the C implementation step.<br /><br />I have to admit that I didn’t even think to ask for an official protocol specification, I just jumped into reverse engineering.

Few years ago when I bought this meter I asked the UNI-TREND for a spec of the protocol, you may find it at http://www.lowlevel.cz/log/cats/english/UNI-T%20UT81B.html<br /><br />Did you advanced any further with your software, is there anything wrong with the Python code? I would like to stick with it if possible...

Nasty. (I had no choice...)<br /><br />Luckily the Python experiments had left everything so clear, and so quickly testable, that the reimplementation was a matter of few hours.Horacio Mijailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941261506308268725noreply@blogger.com
