Dear All,
I have a Mastech MS8220T multimeter that I want to hook up to a PC. It has a serial interface and the included program runs fine, but the protocol is not documented. I had a look at the output with a scope, looks like 9600 baud, but there are some bits that are too short for that, they have a bit less than 50 us duration. Maybe these are the stopbits, signal quality is very bad and it's difficult to identify the individual bits. Do you have any Idea how to guess the protocol and rs232 settings? Is there any way to identify the port settings if I have the software running (xp) ? I had a look at the standard 7 segment encoding, but this does not seem to be used. Even if the disply shows a constant value several different codes are transmitted.
Any ideas?
