Remote Control of MP730027 Digital Multimeter

peter
peter over 3 years ago

I recently bought the Multicomp Pro MP730027 benchtop Digital Multimeter and am having difficulty controlling the instrument using the USB or LAN interface and the DMMEasyControl software which came with the instrument. After launching the app and clicking Control > Connect, the program hangs for about ten seconds and then closes. I have tried it with both USB and LAN interfaces and the same thing happens. It has never, as far as I recall, worked with the USB interface, but occasionally, in the early days with the LAN interface.
I have not (for various reasons) tried to use remote control for a month or more. Two things since then which may/may not be significant are 1. I recently upgraded to Windows 11. 2. I bought a RS Pro programmable power supply which uses a similar app (EasyPower) and both instruments are seen by Device Manager as 'USB Test and Measurement Device (IVI). I can control the RS Pro power supply via USB, but not via LAN. Any ideas?

    It is a problem with low cost programmable instruments that the suplliers often do not provide easily accesible and adequate information to use them. It can also be a problem with high cost instruments…

    Pretty certain that model is compatible with the Owon desktop multimeter, they have some software downloads at: www.owon.com.hk/.../index.asp

    I have the MP730028, which has the same backend. On mine, LAN never connects. The UI shows the cable is connected, but the lights never flash. I have tried with different cables and have verified the cables…

    Thank Kenny. My multimeter is identical to one of the OWON models, and the Software they provide is the same as that supplied with the Multicomp meter - so sadly no progress there, but thanks anyway!
