The Brymen BM857 is a 50000 counts (500000 DC), CAT III (1000V) / CAT IV (600V) handheld digital multimeter with RS232 connectivity.
1: The reference impedance is selectable from 4Ω to 1200Ω. It is not limited to reference impedance of 600Ω.

Cable:
We don't have the BC-85X cable for this device. The BC-85Xa, which we tried, is not compatible this multimeter. The BC-85-1 seems to work acceptably well.
Currently, mrnuke is working on an improvised USB-to-infrared converter for development purposes. If you have a BC-85X you'd like to donate, contact mrnuke on #sigrok. See User_talk:Mrnuke#BM857_PC_interface_cable for more details.
