Using the device with sigrok
The device is supported in Send Mode using a RS232 interface by the driver gmc-mh-1x-2x-rs232 (actually this should work, but with Matthias' test device it did not, so it's untested). Set the multimeter to use the communication adaptor RS232.
The multimeter is also supported in bidirectional mode using a BD232 or SI232-II interface by the driver gmc-mh-2x-bd232. Set the multimeter to use the communication adaptor BD232.
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.

The Accuracy row was simplified, see manual for exact specs. If the value contains three values, the middle value is % or range.
The column "sigrok result" contains in short form what the driver generates for the resp. data type.
