Overview

Owon has launched a new low-cost (~150$) benchtop multimeter (XDM1041) with an RS232 interface.

I was searching for a low-cost programmable multimeter for one of my test automation projects and found this on toolworld.

It’s fairly new, the documentation is not yet available on their website. It took me some time to figure all the details and make it work.

Explainer Video

I have created two videos, one giving the details about all the major features this multimeter has and a comparison with Fluke 287 True RMS Multimeter and another one is to show how to connect this multimeter with PC using OWON’s PC Software or control using serial commands.
