Re: Identifying and Adapting Meters

Paul,

I guess it's a matter of preference. You can pay more than $25.00 for one good quality meter, even used. If you want something with a custom scale, you will pay waaaay more than that from a commercial supplier.
OTOH, one $25 investment will let you make as many meters as you need, not to mention that it will save you time to do even one, compared with setting it up in a CAD program.

My $0.02

Tonne Software offers a trial version of the Meter program for free download. It is good for 10 uses and then the print function is disabled. I downloaded a copy and it is definitely a really fine piece of software. It is very functional and intuitive and easy to use. It creates exceptional meter faces of almost any configuration you can think of up to 4 scales on a single face plate. I still believe that $24.95 is too high and that they should have kept to the $10 price.
They also have some other interesting technical software for electronics hobbyists available on their web site. Some of this software is free. http://www.tonnesoftware.com/
