Signametrics' USB switching module works with DMMs
Dec 3, 2008 -- Compact and portable, the SMU4032 USB-based relay switching module from Signametrics enables your 6-1/2-digit or 7-1/2-digit DMM to maintain its full accuracy across your switching architecture. The multiplexer derives power directly from the USB, weighs less than 1 lb, and is only 5x7x1.3 in. for true mobility....
