Digital Multimeters for Android and iOS Devices
We are now in the digital age where things are being built in reduced proportions and yet are far superior than all the separate elements that were incorporated into them. Take for example the digital multimeter or DMM, which is now compatible with an iOS or Android device; it not only allows you to take measurements of hard-to-reach areas on machines and electrical panels, but also displays accurate readings on your smartphone. The average modern smartphone can be compared to a laptop or tablet in terms of processing speed, memory capacity and other basic functions. Except that the smartphone is UI-controlled (user interface) that lets you do more swiping than pressing buttons, and because of that it can be fitted with apps – that when used with the Bluetooth function – can have many practical uses.
What are the Best Brands sold in the Market Today?
The top 4 competing brands in the market today are Redfish Instruments, LabMate, Fluke and Agilent although there are other brands that manufacture similar products that are also familiar to the digital multimeter and scientific instruments industry. These surfing instrument companies have opted to design apps and software that are compatible with the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3 where you’ll use the voltmeter to take voltage readings and the Bluetooth adapter will just relay the information to your Android or iOS smartphone. The specially designed large displays of these smartphones will allow for up to 3 – 5 measurements viewed simultaneously via the datalogger app. Here are some DVM and DMM instruments currently in circulation:
