content: Just got one of these neat handheld (process) calibrators on UK EBay. No software though so can’t do remote control and logging. Does anyone have the software? It came on CD. It’s a current RS device but they say they can’t supply software separately.Jeremy

content: Hi JeremySteve here, still taking good care of MPB although she's a bit like Trigger's broom now with more new bits than oldPerhaps you could try the original manufacturer - they may be more helpful than RS:-https://www.prova.com.tw/product_detail.asp?seq=2Steve

content: Great idea Steve!Prova came through straight away. They gave me a link and I now have the software, working well.It's basic but allows downloading and graphical display of measurement logs.Since the 133 has a 2Gb micro SD card inside, it can capture a lot of data!Should be useful for monitoring battery voltages. (24V max)-Jeremy

content: I'm happy to post the software. Where's the best place? It's a 17Mb file. Maybe on good old BAMA?Prova also gave me a link for a USB driver but that link did not work. However, the main file is an ISO, and contains all the drivers anyway.I just right-clicked the iso and did a "mount" in Win 10. I then clicked setup and it installed fine. The install has two options. One is the main software, the other is the USB driver. It won't work without the USB driver installed (can't find com port).-Jeremy

content: @pamphonicaQuote from: pamphonica on September 15, 2023, 10:34:09 amI just got one of these from Ebay (no software). Have you already posted the Prova SW? Had a look at BAMA and ko4bb but to no avail Also, any idea how this unit can be calibrated? It seems reasonably in spec if you give it enough warm-up but thinking long term...Cheers...
