I have a Fluke 87 and a Fluke 80T-150 temperature probe that outputs
1 mV/deg F....but I'm getting lazy...
I'd like to find a reasonably priced but accurate and durable
multimeter with a USB interface and software so I can log temp with
some kind of time stamp using my Fluke temp probe. If someone
experience with any I'd like to know what's available new and used.
I'm attempting to evaluate some insulation and thermal mass for a
passive solar home design.
tnx


Why tie up the multimeter..

This does not look bad:

Here's what $40 gets you, note the limited measurement range and sample
frequency:
