TMultiMeter for Delphi

Why?

I studied Laboratoryinformation and -automation (LIA). During this study I often used a multimeter for measuring, since it could be connected to the COM port of a computer. At first, I rewrote the code for each program I used it in. Since I started to use Delphi more and more, I decided to develop a Delphi component for it.

Features

The component is a descendant from TCustomPanel. The panel displays the current value of the multimeter. The component automatically detects the measured quantity and unit, which are readable through a property. The value property returns the current quantity, in basic units. I only tested it with a Volta and Metex multimeter, but it may work fine with other modells as well. If it does not, you may send me the data-format and communicatin settings and maybe I'll make the component compatible. The component uses Win32 API, so it works with all 32bit Windows versions.

Downloaden

You can download the component here (updated 15/01/2008 - 4 kB). It only contains the source code, so you can rebuild it for your Delphi version(s). Note that the comment is dutch, and there's no manual included jet.

Questions or problems?

If you have any questions about the component, you may refer to me for any help. You can e-mail me at webmaster@adlentis.net.
