Mini Power Meter w/ V, A, W, mAh, mWh, temp, & time

Post by bobowen4561 »

What is the item in parenthesis shown above the temperature reading on the meter's display? What does this value relate too? Ref: product #3624. This value can be changed in the setup from between 1.50 and 0.50 in increments of 0.01. The default value is 1.00.

Thank you. This item is easily missed. I only saw it after spending a large amount of time trying to determine how to utilize/set the meter's many functions.

Looking at the specifications (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3624) it would appear to me that the meter also displays impedance. I have not determined how to accomplish this other than dividing the displayed voltage by the displayed current. What am I missing?

This is a very nice "small" meter capable of simultaneously displaying voltage, current, energy and power over a wide range without requiring any user interaction. Wish the meter was larger with a louder alarm having the ability to disconnect the load upon activation. A more complete manual would be beneficial.
