The interesting thing about the HoldPeak HP-90EPC DMM is the USB interface. Is there a library & API of any sort, for accessing the meter from custom software on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.?

Hello! Would you be so kind and send me a link to the software too? Or the ISO-image of CD disk - that would be wonderful!

sir what's about holdpeak 6205 clamp meter? is it good for home use?

[fam____]

Let me add an important notice on USB, after I had a look inside my one: The internal creepage distances for isolation according to UL / EN 61010 are totally violated (should be > 6mm), so that that device must not be offered for US and Europe! It's a danger for life!
By the way: USB is PL2303, which is know for causing problems with Windows and it's an A plug to be used for USB masters only.

Этот мультиметр такой же как и тысячи остальных, но у него есть функция связи с компьютером, так вот и надо было показывать эту функцию, а не тестить прозвонку и подсветку бляха муха....

PC-link software doesn't work because Holdpeak used a chinese rip-off version of the prolific serial-to-usb chip, and consequently the driver stopped working. There is a fix, but it only works intermittently.

Hi!, nice review. Would you send me a link to the soft too?

HI! WOuld you be so kind and send me a link to the software ? I have a HP-90K i believe the PCLINK software in your device will work for me ... :) and ISO would be nice or even ONLY the USB driver on the cd if possible. Thank you !
