UT71B Interface

The digital multimeter series UT71 from Uni-Trend

provides a cheap measurement solution with reasonable accuracy. The set includes an USB Interface Cable and a Windows based software. Unfortunately the USB Interface doesn't work with Mac OSX. But the optical interface can be

Schematic

The USB to Serial converter PL2303HX provides 4 wires for the signals GND, +5V, RxD and TxD as shown in the schematic The TxD diode is optional and not supported by the software (yet).

Assembly

Cut and engrave on you laser cut of choice. Prepare the small piece of PCB (perfboard)

Software

The S/W is written with 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.

V0.10 Initial Version Mac OS X 10.9+ ut71ab_ifp_v010.zip

If you like the software feel free to donate :-)
