The Siemens B1105 is a 310000 counts 1000V CAT III/600 V CAT IV handheld digital multimeter with IR (RS232) connectivity.
It is an OEM version of the Gossen Metrawatt Metrahit 28S. The only differences seem to be the type, logo and color (light grey-blue print on knob, light grey-blue holster) and the voltage rating.

Using the device with sigrok
The device is supported in Send Mode using a RS232 interface by the driver gmc-mh-sm-rs232 (in development) and will be detected as a Metrahit 28S. Set the multimeter to use the communication adaptor RS232.
The device might be not detected by the driver if it is in a mode where it sends data rarely, either with a huge send interval or with a measurement function that delivers a very low data rate, e.g. temperature measurements with K type sensor. Then it should be set to a mode with higher data rate during the initialisation of the driver.

Press up to 4 times to cycle parameters, press long to stop. See manual. Not useful remotely because the current measurement value is sent, not the counter. | |||
| Stop Watch | 100 ns | (Time data) | Max. 100 Min. To activate, select a 3V-1000V≃ range manually, press yellow button, press AUTO for start/stop, DATA for reset. Using the stop watch delivers only voltage data and sometimes seems to bring the device into a mode where it even sends invalid data packets. | ||

The column "sigrok result" contains in short form what the driver generates for the resp. data type.
