Retrofitting an USB-port on a Fluke9010A
« on: December 31, 2012, 09:00:30 AM »
As I can see from former posts that I'm not the only one who has been lucky enough to snap up a Fluke9010A, I thought that this might be of interest to some of you.

I have a 9010a for sale if anyone's interested....and a 8088, 80186, 80286 pod. The 286 doesn't pass self-test the others do.

Oh and a very cool idea ! Of course you could have just hook up the USB to RS-232 converter to your pc and hook it up with a RS-232 cable too. But having a USB port on the Fluke is neat :)

Would be nice if you could reprogram the interface so the USB ID's itself as "Fluke 9010a" ;) ;)

Yup, thought about the same thing...or even better: A native USB-module that would plug into the Fluke instead if the RS232-module. That would also be a great help for all of those poor guys having a Fluke without the RS232-option. It should be possible...maby through the use of an Arduino or similar };-P
