UNI-T UT8806E software
Remote control and data logging for the UNI-T UT8806E multimeter, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every multimeter.
Awaiting confirmation
Status
Very likely. Support for the UNI-T UT8806E was written from UNI-T’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real UT8806E yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
