I have a Fluke 87 and a Fluke 80T-150 temperature probe that outputs 1

I'd like to find a reasonably priced but accurate and durable multimeter
with a USB interface and software so I can log temp with some kind of
time stamp using my Fluke temp probe. If someone experience with any
I'd like to know what's available new and used. I'm attempting to
evaluate some insulation and thermal mass for a passive solar home
design.
tnx

I was also working on a project which required temperature to be monitored
in many discrete points, over a period of time. There's several options, but
I believe the best to be as below:

These are cheap, simple, accurate enough, easy to use, and pretty much
perfect for your application. The previous generation of logger we used
(ACR) were about $800 per unit, and these do basically the same thing for
$30 a piece. Thank you China! It would be prudent to buy several, and put
them in different spots so you can also evaluate temperature variations.

I think it will save you time, and get you better and more useful data if
you go with this approach rather than trying to use a general purpose
multimeter.
