Re: Whole house power metering?



But they don't tell you when it was =A349.99 or for how long it was at=20
that price!
I bought the exact same multimeter a year ago from Maplin for =A329.99
So the saving now is really a tenner.
I compared to my fluke and it does seem accurate when reading=20
volts.  I also had a quick play with the PC interface and got that=20
working no problems.
IMHO it's a good meter and worth the =A319.99
