 Cut and engrave on your laser cutter of choice. Prepare the small piece of PCB (perfboard). Glue the IR transistor (dark blue)and the IR LED. The flat part should be on the left for each. Solder the parts and the SMD resistors as shown on the picture. Last but not least connect the four wire of the PL2303HX.    Cut and engrave on your laser cutter of choice.

-The S/W is written with [[https://www.xojo.com|XOJO]] to support all major OS (Windows, OS X, Linux). 
-As I have just now only a license for OS X I can't provide binaries for Windows and Linux. 
  
-The S/W has mainly the same functionality as the original one.+===== Protocol ===== 
 + 
 +The logic analyser revealed the following signal frame: 
 + 
 +{{ :tech:ut71ab_frame.png?direct&600 |UT71 frame}} 
 + 
 +As we can see the multimeter sends 11 Bytes with 2400 Baud, 7 bits and ODD parity in ASCII format every approx. 650ms. With our built hardware we are now able to use a standard UART-program to analyse the protocol further. After some long iterations (and a lot of coffees) the eleven bytes have following meaning:  
 + 
 +<code> 
 +    # Decode 11 bytes from UT71A/B/C 
 +    # ============================== 
 +    # Byte / Bit          6    5    4    3    2    1    0

 +    # [7]    Coupling     0    1    1    0    0    DC   AC    (also DC and AC possible) 
 +    # [8]    Info         0    1    1    0    NEG  MAN  AUTO  (MAN or AUTO only) 
 +    # [9]    '\r'         0    0    0    1    1    0    1 
 +    # [10]   '\n'         0    0    0    1    0    1    0 
 +    # 
 +    # Digit: 0x30..0x39 = '0..9', 0x3A = ' ', 0x3B = '-', 0x3C = 'L', 0x3F = 'H' 
 +    # REL not sent 
 +    # No tansmission in HOLD state 
 +    # If NEG set at Range 15 sent value is duty cycle 
 +    # No LowBat info sent 
 +    # Storaged data not accessable 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Depending on the chosen measuring range the ''Range'' and the ''Unit'' value lead to a corresponding multiplication factor:

 +Based on the protocol information I prepared a tiny Python program to receive the measured values, plot and store them as well as export in CSV format. This allows long-term measurements of any unit. The measurement values are stored in a SQLite database and can also be easily access with Open-Source tools like [[https://sqlitebrowser.org|DB Browser for SQLite]].
