Protek 506 Multimeter3/26/2021
Code: Select DC 000.1 V DIO SHORT RES OL FR 1.00 MHz Thats pretty much it.Electronics is my hobby (occupation - computer programmer), I think i really like it Okey, EOT.Im thinking about new multimeter which should be Protek 506, I can buy it here in Poland.I want multimeter for many years, so it would be great to see some strong review on your video blog.
This multimeter is kinda old (production from 1994-1996 smth. For me in my country it is the best price offer and it looks like the Protek 506 is the best for my money range. It wasnt bad in its day, and was popular for a long time, but there are much better options these days. Protek 506 Multimeter Plus From AnI said I had one (two actually, surplus from an old job), that doesnt mean I actually used it Soldem on ebay. Its not actually a bad meter, and was very popular in its day, the same model has lasted a very long time on the shelves. Dave. Dave. Hey, Yeah, I got it Thanks anyway. But, I need second, I think it will be some Fluke. Fluke 287 I see it in nice price) One more question. Im thinking about Good Will Instek GPS-4303 Lab DC supply, could you tell me something about it or maybe make some review of it Its kinda cheap and it looks fine, but who knows what is inside. But I think that it has no CAT rating Not good for the price. By the same token, it can be used for PC logging without an expensive optical adapter. Not everybody uses their multimeters to measure high-energy circuits. Note that closed-case digital calibration is not offered, you need to turn trimmers to calibrate the meter. The problem is that if the internal PCB suffers tracking because of a fault, the pins of the RS232 connector can become live. I have a 506 but dont use it much anymore (it has an uncommon inductance mode, but there are better ways of measuring L). The PCB layout on mine is too messy though, maybe thats to do with it being a Chinese made rather than Taiwanese model. With enough voltage the risk of arcing through the case to the IR interface exists on other DMMs. I have a couple of diskettes with the original RS232 software, I have yet to unbury a computer with a floppy drive and check how corrupt they are. ![]() Can anyone point me to a modern alternative for logging software that will talk to this DMM. Protek 506 Multimeter Serial Connection AtAll it does is open a serial connection at 1200 baud, 7 data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity, and send a character (literally any character) to the meter every time it wants to take a sample. The meter responds to each single character by sending the current main display as a line of data, each line followed by a carriage return (M).
