Fluke 8010 / 8012 Interface=20 Specifications
Have fun with this project, but I can't emphasize it often = enough:=20 please be careful with high=20 voltages. IntroductionFor many years I felt the desire to connect my ancient Fluke = meter=20 models 8010 and 8012 to the computer. At long last I succeeded in=20 developing an interface to the SB-Bus. In the past I often thought about the ideal interface system = for these=20 Fluke meters. Some ideas could never be realized though, and I = stripped=20 down the wish list to those things that could easily be = implemented. It=20 took me exactly one month to build and program the current version = of the=20 interface, and I must say that I'm quite satisfied with the end = result. I=20 started the job at 25 April 1997 and the 2nd meter was finally = closed at=20 24 May of the same year. All together it took me 57 hours to = finish this=20 project and I had to start the assembler 384 times to complete the = software. The basic plan was to be able to read the display on command. I =
decided=20
to read only the value, and forget about the actual range and =
function.
Reading the range and function would require too severe =
modifications=20
because there are not enough free switch contacts available to =
read all=20
possible switch positions. Like I said, I'm very satisfied with the end result, if I may = say so=20 myself. Both meters can now be connected to the SB-Bus, and can = store=20 measurements in their log file autonomously. The results in the = log file=20 can be read at any convenient time by giving a simple command to = the=20 meter. |
