Review on πŸ’» Black USB Power Line Monitor - Powertronics Probe 100+ by Ben Daugherty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A handy troubleshooting tool.

Powertronics Probe 100+ USB Voltage Fault Recorder. I was looking for a simple single phase 120V AC monitor. A simple monitor that can register and graph voltage anomalies. This is one such module that can come in handy. The probe itself can diagnose your 110 output wiring configuration. It will also alert you when you have high or low voltage. From now on, he will bind all LEDs to the series of anomalies he saw. This block is really easy to use and easy to read. All your errors or events will be logged with a glowing LED. However, the time and actual event are not recorded as there is no built-in memory or memory. The glowing LEDs are just telling you it happened. You need a computer to continue using this product. The communications software provided by Powertronics via flash drive worked very well, downloading the software on my old Asus computer with Windows 10. This failed on my Windows XP computer which is also outdated. I just downloaded the software for the 100+ USB probe and ran the program before connecting the active probe. When the probe and software are installed on the computer, the Probe Plus data logging application screen appears. Start data logging by clicking the button in the top left corner. It is best to keep both the sensor and computer powered on to monitor the source under test. Please remember to keep your computer active, otherwise you will lose data during the recording. You will see this as a lack of information recorded on the graph. The recorded information will be 24 hours at a time. So your print screen reader schedule only gives you 24 hours of information. Even as long as your communications software flash drive is connected to your computer. Find the probe manual in PDF format and read it a few times to get a better understanding of your instrument. In short, it's simple and easy to use 🌟🌟🌟🌟. For me he lost a star because there is no memory πŸ˜”
