# PREFACE

This software is still in the early beta phase but has been tested and seems to be working fine now, particularly the win-bk390a GUI version.  

A linux version of this software would be very easy to make, the only change would be the serial port related code (setup and data acquisition).

# BK-390A

win-bk390a.exe - GUI windowed application

bk390a.exe - BK Precision 390A Series multimeter CLI data capture software for OBS/logging on Windows

# Requirements

If you want to build this software on Windows, you'll require MinGW https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

# Setup

1) Build win-bk390a or bk390a ( Linux mingw64 install required, or mingw64 for Windows)

	 

	make win-bk390a

	(or)

	make bk390a

   

   An example of compiling on Windows using mingw-w64 would be:

   

   mingw32-make -f Makefile.win win-bk390a

   

	

2) Run from the command line

	win-bk390a.exe -p 4 -m

The program will display in text the current meter display and also generate a text file called "bk390a.txt" which can be read in to programs like OpenBroadcaster so you can have a live on-screen-display of the multimeter.

# Usage

	 win-bk390a [-p ] [-s ] [-m] [-fn ] [-fc <#rrggbb>] [-fw ] [-bc <#rrggbb>] [-wx ] [-wy ] [-d] [-q]

        -h: This help

        -p : Set the com port for the meter, eg: -p 2

        -s <[9600|4800|2400|1200]:[7|8][o|e|n][1|2]>, eg: -s 2400:7o1

        -m: show multimeter mode (second line of text)

        -z: Font size (default 72, max 256pt)

        -fn : Font name (default 'Andale')

        -fc <#rrggbb>: Font colour

        -bc <#rrggbb>: Background colour

        -fw : Font weight, typically 100-to-900 range

        -wx : Force Window width (normally calculated based on font size)

        -wy : Force Window height

        -d: debug enabled

        -q: quiet output

        -v: show version

        Defaults: -s 2400:7o1 -z 72 -fc #10ff10 -bc #000000 -fw 600 -fn Andale

        example: win-bk390a.exe -z 120 -p 4 -m -fc #ff1010 -bc #000000 -fw 600

	bk390a.exe  -p  [-s ] [-t] [-o ] [-l ] [-m] [-d] [-q]
