== Protocol ==
'''Cable:'''


The device periodically sends 14-byte packets at 2400 baud, 8n1.
See [[Device_cables#Digitek_DT4000ZC_cable]].
The MSB nibble of each byte indicates the byte number. The payload is composed of the LSB nibbles, and is a 1-1 mapping of the LCD segments. The downside to this protocol structure is that transmission errors in the LSB nibbles cannot be detected. There is no checksum or CRC in the packet.

The TekPower TP4000ZC is a 4000 counts, CAT II (600V) handheld digital multimeter with RS232 connectivity.

This multimeter is a rebadged Digitek DT4000ZC.

Hardware

Multimeter:

  • Multimeter IC: The microcontroller is an unidentifiable plastic blob (based on the communication protocol, probably a Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3)
  • LM358 opamp
  • HEF4013BT flip-flop
  • The RS-232 connector is a standard 3.5m stereo jack, with the ring left unconnected. The transmitter is optically insulated from the rest of the device.
