What I want is to be able to personalize your device with the name and to see its functions through the program. I ordered version 3.0 to update with the original page. I'm going to try the program that give me to see if it works. Thanks a lot

unless the meter is using a serial>usb chip your going to have problems.

Linux and OSX can run windows software, but not windows hardware drivers.

Hello good nights. So that you think of the utilization of rechargeable batteries in this multimeter? They are advisable, or it is not worth it really? That you think? Thank you very much friends

Re: Information about Fluke 289...

The AA rechargeable is only putting out 1.2V, so I am not sure if it will run properly at 4.8V instead of 6V, you need to look at the manual to see if it will give the info. of the cutoff Voltage for this meter. You can also try and see.

Nimh work fine in the Fluke 289 despite using 6 AA cells. See

There is a ton of information on the Fluke 287/289 on eevblog including leaky super capacitors.

I use Eneloops in my Fluke 187 (4 AA). It has no problems with the lower voltage.
