Edit: I had written this comment on shabaz page and it appears here. Odd. I did have both pages open at the same time though.

The fastlog code is so clear and understandable that it wouldn't be hard to write your own applications that could do whatever you want with that data.

Nice post Douglas.

After seeing all of the abuse that Dave Jones gave the meter in Australia, your look inside shows why it was able to stand up to a lot of normal use events.

If I recall one of the parts that came loose was the thru hole xtal which had been mounted as a SMD.

Pity they didn't also add some goop as insurance.

The other item was the ceramic resistor that slide out the bottom of themetal housing.

Granted these were extreme tests, but a relatively simple cure with little cost.
