These are fascinating…. is there a companion app for your phone so that you can use the BT to datalog and plot?
Stuart
Flir has released (or will soon release) an Android app that can collect readings from their Bluetooth-equipped meters. I’m not sure of data collection and plotting is possible, but the connectivity should at least allow for wireless remote viewing of measurements in real-time.

You can easily see how the next step will be remote expertise being brought to bear in aiding field technicians getting it right more quickly and avoiding call backs
KenZ
Didn’t even think of that, but excellent point.
Axel
how soon is ‘soon’? 😉
Stuart
They have a mobile app that works with certain tools.

I wonder if they bought the old tektronix TX3 multimeter design. Both are in the same area and it sorta reminds me of that.
