These programs – Meter and MeterBasic – are designed to have a computer do the hard work in making a precision scale for a d’Arsonval analog meter. The resulting scales can appear as nice (or nicer!) as those found on commercial meters.

Meter is a professional-level meterscale drawing program with no time or usage limitations. It requires a text-based key to operate. It is updated frequently.

MeterBasic is a fine program for the hobbyist who wants to generate a simple scale on occasion. MeterBasic is based on a subset of the features found in Meter and is not be updated regularly. It requires no key and has no time or usage limitations. To provide an incentive to upgrade from MeterBasic to Meter, many of the features found in Meter are absent.

Upgrade from MeterBasic to Meter: simply download Meter, purchase the key for it and then take advantage of Meter’s many wonderful features.
