QtDMM
Digital Multimeter readout software with recorder
|
Description
QtDMM is a DMM readout software including a configurable recorder. A friend of mine asked
me for a DMM readout software for Linux as the DOS software he had was not really usable. Additionally it
featured numerous hefty translation errors in the GUI. To help him out I wrote this little piece of software.
The recorder features manual start, scheduled start (at a given time) and triggered automatic start when given
thresholds are reached. Additionally you can start an external application when given thresholds are reached.
It was initially written for Metex (and compatible like VOLTCRAFT) multimeter which use an 14 byte protocol.
Later several more protocols have been added. For more information on the currently supported DMM's have a look at
the preset table.
With version 0.8 the ability to display more than one value from the multimeter was added.

Prerequisites
QtDMM has been tested on Linux so far, but it should be compileable on other flavours of UNIX provided the following
prerequisites are met:
- Qt-3.x from Trolltech-AS (development package) http://www.trolltech.com
- gcc
Versions before 0.8.3 need Qt version 2.x!
|
Installation
QtDMM comes in a source-only distribution. Compilation is simple.
- Untar the tarball
- Enter the directory QtDMM
- call ./configure
- call make and wait a few moments
Now you'll find the executable qtdmm in the QtDMM/bin directory. Put it into your $PATH and
you are done.

Download
Please don't forget to read, understand and agree
to QtDMM's license before using it.
Mac OS X dmg's
The Mac OS X binaries (compiled on Mac OS X 10.4.11) are statically linked against Qt 3.3.8. You don't need the Qt library installed on your system.
Source distribution
You might have to 'shift-click' the links to download the sources.
Version 0.6.2 shows a wrong version string and shows up as version 0.6.1. If your QtDMM has the 'integration'
feature it is 0.6.2 in reality. I will not make a new version to change this as you can expect a new enhanced
version in the near future anyway.
With version 0.8 the way of reading data from the multimeter was changed. This might have broken some
of the drivers (and more likely fixed many problems). It would be nice if users of this version could (re)confirm
if their DMM is (still) working.
Version 0.8.5 has a commandline option (--console). It makes QtDMM print a hexdump of the read data to stdout (if any).
If you are in trouble, try this option and mail me the output.
Linux RPM's
Radek Liboska liboska@uochb.cas.cz was so kind to create RPM's
QtDMM-0.8.8-1.i386.rpm (FC5 Qt3.3.7)
QtDMM-0.8.8-1.src.rpm
QtDMM-0.8.7-1.i386.rpm (FC3 Qt3.3)
QtDMM-0.8.7-1.src.rpm
QtDMM-0.8.4-1.i386.rpm
QtDMM-0.8.4-1.src.rpm
As I'm not the grandmaster of RPM's (I'm one of those old fashioned guys that prefer source tarballs :)
please contact Radek if you get into trouble with the RPM's. A Debian package can be found at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/science/qtdmm
