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

These may be the best solution, if you don't need real-time updating
on the PC.

I used a bunch of them to evaluate a Solar Air Heater I designed
(http://www.solarsponge.com), along with other passive cooling and
heating aspects of my home.
You can use as many as you want and actually get thermal mappings of a
space. i.e. suspend then at different heights in a room and get a map
of the temperature layers. I've put then in air ducts, in water, as
contact thermometers etc

Infinitely better than a PC and a multimeter.
