ABSTRACT:
A method by which a microprocessor based handheld multi-meter, or other handheld electronic instrument, can communicate with a computer or other microprocessor based device through the measurement input jacks of the handheld multi-meter. A handheld meter, thus equipped, can receive control or calibration data from, and provide test or calibration data to, a host computer or microprocessor based accessory or other instrument. To enable this capability, the handheld meter employs dual-signal, single-axis jacks, for example split banana jacks, for one or more of its signal and ground receptacles. The handheld meter and the computer, or another microprocessor based instrument or accessory device that the meter is to communicate with, are equipped with mutually compatible software and appropriate hardware to support single signal path communication.
