This is an alphabetically ordered table of various multimeters which can log data your PC via USB, RS232, and so on. We do not list devices without PC logging functionality, as those are not really useful for sigrok.
This page lists commercial and non-commercial devices with a short overview of their capabilities. We list all kinds of devices here, not only those supported by sigrok.
You should not use the information here as the sole source for any buying decisions, this is just meant for informational purposes. Please carefully check the vendor websites if you intend to buy any hardware.

Multimeter ICs
Many multimeters use a special-purpose multimeter IC internally. This table lists those chips, as they're often directly responsible for the protocol and data format of the PC logging functionality of a multimeter.
| Device | Model | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Cyrustek | ES51922 | UNI-T UT61E |
| Fortune Semiconductor | FS9721_LP3 | Voltcraft VC-820, Mastech VA18B |
| Fortune Semiconductor | FS9922_DMM4 | Victor 70C |
| New Japan Radio | NJU9207 |
Multimeter PC Interface ICs
On some multimeters, there are additional ICs for the PC connectivity of the device. This table lists such ICs.
| Device | PC interface | Datasheet | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prolific PL2303 | USB, virtual serial port | ... | ... |
| Sunplus SPCP825 | USB, ? | ... | ... |
