I am up to exploring connectivity of Handheld Meter Logger Software - by the use of external USB to Bluetooth BT 4.0 module (with BCM20702 chip).

Until now and after all those years I do assume that Handheld Meter Logger Software this is ready to use BCM20702 chip and to detect at least three U1177A.

Primarily this Handheld Meter Logger Software, this needs USB/Bluetooth/ Com port, or USB cable Com port, and then it connects to it.

But in my own application Handheld Meter Logger Software, it should connect to single Com port and then this to make multiple Bluetooth connections.

And now I need to ask the question, and this is if Keysight software developers they have actually test this setup.

Operating system Windows XP, Desktop PC.

My measuring application this is three phase voltage monitor due three U1177A.
By me reviewing every available Keysight information’s documentation about U1177A and similar, there is no documentation as proof, that specific setup it does work.

No one else has this question

Hi Mr. KiriakosGR,

We never test the setup to use the Handheld meter logger software with external to Bluetooth BT 4.0 module before.

But technically it should work as long the “Standard Serial Over Bluetooth link” services detected by windows.

The communication basically will be handle by this link and each com port assigned will make single bluetooth connection to Handheld meter.

I hope this helps.

Hi Mr. sj

According to Keysight product application documents, some one from the team did use Handheld meter logger with windows, and he did take a screenshot, what him avoid or forgot to mention, this is actual setup of computer in use.

Was it a laptop PC ? Was it a desktop PC?

Agilent / Keysight has the positive habit to offer well made documentation for most of products, and I am unable to understand how in specific product series, this did not happen.

Quantity of three U1177A this is an 200$ experiment, if for any reason Handheld meter logger this does not recognize and cooperate with external Bluetooth BT 4.0 module.

Such BT modules they are available only by two known manufacturers and BCM20702 chip this is one of them.

I have to admit that screenshot below gave me confidence so me to spent money and buy three U1177A.

In 10 days the most, I will be able to test BCM20702 with Handheld meter logger, if it fails this would be a costly disappointment for me.

I do own two U1272A, and if this Bluetooth BT 4.0 module actually works, then I will consider to buy and a third U1272A.

Therefore its all about money, and in such situations the customer to become by him self a tester and taking risks by his own wallet, this is not a usual practice.

My research ended up with positive results.

I wrote an extended analysis of what I consider as critical information's for use of Keysight Handheld Meter Logger with Windows XP operating system, and at the same time use of Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle.
