My mistake, apologies. Set a physical VOM on the USB outlet. Get the temp monitoring from repo. Lesson in clear response ;). Again, my apologies.
I remember about ten years ago or so, I was doing tech support for a small company. In my notes on one case, I used the term VOM because I couldn't think of the more modern "multimeter." There was an astonishing kerfuffle over it because nobody else at the company knew what a VOM was and it didn't occur to any of them to ask me. Later, I almost made the mistake of causing another fuss by using the term "pilot light," but managed to dodge that bullet.
. you should told them 'M' meant multimeter. to be more exact, dVOM, "digital Volt Ohm Multimeter".
in early days VOM was actually Volt Ohm Milli-amp.
i have 2 meters that are multi meters.
1st measures ac/dc volts, ohms, milli-amps, diodes, conductance, inductance, capacitance, ppm, and frequency.
2nd measures ac/dc volts, ohms, milli-amps, diodes, dwell, rpm.
