Voltcraft VC-820

The Voltcraft VC-820 is a 4000 counts, CAT III (1000V) / CAT IV (600V) handheld digital multimeter with RS232 or USB connectivity.

See Voltcraft VC-820/Info for more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) about the device.

Protocol

The connection to the PC is done using a cable which converts the optical signal (IR) on the multimeter to RS232.

The serial connection uses 2400 baud (hardcoded, cannot be changed) with 8n1 settings. The multimeter transmits 14-byte data packets periodically, the host can not send any commands whatsoever, only read the transmitted data.

A short protocol description is available from Voltcraft/Conrad.
