+Enabling multimeter / data logger measurement output
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Some multimeters or data loggers will not start outputting measurement data
+unless a certain action has been performed by the user beforehand. This is
+usually mentioned in the vendor manual of the respective device, but here's
+a short list for convenience:
+
+ - Digitek DT4000ZC: Briefly press the "RS232" button.
+ - PCE PCE-DM32: Briefly press the "RS232" button.
+ - RadioShack 22-812: Press and hold "SELECT" and "RANGE" together.
+ - TekPower TP4000ZC: Briefly press the "RS232" button.
+ - UNI-T UT61D: Press the "REL/RS232/USB" button for roughly 1 second.
+ - UNI-T UT325: Briefly press the "SEND" button (as per manual). However, it
+   appears that in practice you don't have to press the button (at least on
+   some versions of the device), simply connect the device via USB.
+ - V&A VA18B: Keep the "Hz/DUTY" key pressed while powering on the device.
+ - Victor 70C: Press the "REL/RS232" button for roughly 1 second.
+ - Victor 86C: Press the "REL/RS232" button for roughly 1 second.
+ - Voltcraft VC-830: Press the "REL/PC" button for roughly 2 seconds.
