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

Omega has the OM-62, standalone. I've worked with one, stick it where you want, then download the data. Temp dew point and
RH.http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=OM-62&nav=DASE01

The Themrochron iButtons are a much sexier solution. Only $25ea, have
up to a 10 year battery life, are waterproof, and are only the size a
few stacked coins.

Serial and USB readers are available, and data can be exported to
Excel etc.
You can get little plastic tags to attach them to to things too. I
hang one off my harness when I go canyoning, to log the water temp.

Those are pretty cool I read about one sending them aloft in a model
rocket nose cone and doing temperature measurements during the rockets
flight.
