RuntheRISC/!DVM/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

DVM (Digital Volt Meter) Monitor V1.0 Copyright Mike Cook 1996 - Musbury Consultants - all rights reserved 01706 216701 5 Helmshore Rd, Haslingden, Rossendale, Lancs. BB4 4BG This application allows you to read the "RUN THE RISC" DVM on the Printer Port, and record the results in a text file. You need a bidirection Printer Port. You need the hardware as described in the Feb. 96 issue of Acorn User. Maximum sample rate is every 0.3 second, the application will not let you set a faster rate. However at this speed there is a drift error of about -0.0007 volts, therefore for best results always sample at 0.5 second or slower. Before pressing "Record" you must first select a file path by draging a Save Icon. "Pause" will suspend recording and "Halt" will close the recording file. Note you can only press "Halt" when "Pause" is not active.
