The RadioShack 22-812 is a 4000 counts, CAT II (600V) handheld digital multimeter with RS-232 connectivity.

It is no longer sold under this part number, and for a while, it appeared to have been discontinued. RadioShack does sell a visually identical multimeter, the RadioShack 22-039. It is not yet clear if the 22-039 is the same device as the 22-812.

Hardware

The microcontroller is an unidentifiable plastic blob.

This devices has a standard DB-9 connector at the top, and does not require a special adapter cable. The RS-232 transmitter is optically insulated from the rest of the device. The transmitter uses a separate PCB, integrated into the multimeter's housing. The RS-232 module is powered from the serial port.

Protocol

The device periodically sends 9-byte packets at 4800 baud, 8n1. The packet includes a mode indicator, payload and checksum. The payload is a 1-1 mapping of the LCD segments.
