When I went out and got the Radio Shack Digital Multi-meter with 
so-called PC Data Interface I was a little annoyed that it didn't come 
with a Macintosh client, only DOS and Windows. It took me a little while 
but I finally got this out the door. MacMultiMeter is an application that 
allows you to hook up your Radio Shack Multi-meter to your Macintosh and 
record data. The main interface looks like the physical meter. Push the 
buttons on the computerized meter with the mouse and they operate just 
like the buttons on the meter on your desk.

What you might find handy is that MacMultiMeter is AppleScriptable. I 
imagine you could hook the meter up to your Macintosh, hook the meter's 
leads to something you find interesting (that hopefully has some sort of 
electrical properties) and write a file using AppleScript commands. You 
could then use this data anyway you want. Put it on the Web, in a 
spreadsheet, email it, whatever. That's your job. You will be able to 
find the latest version of this program at
