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

PCI is going away if not already completely gone on new PCs, USB will be
here for quite a while in some form. USB also allows you to easily move the
device from one PC to another, and connect it to laptops.

I think it's because more and more people are moving to laptops and USB,
IEEE-1394 and PC-Card's are the only ports available.
