rob and all, this looks like a fancy somewhat programmable talking meter. It is probably intended to be used with a variety of sensors, temperature, pressure etc. which produce electrical current or voltage outputs.
Omega makes lots of such sensors. The page can't be displayed on my browser, so I'll contact them and find out more. If I know Omega, it will not be at all cheap. If any body else contacts them, for heavens sake do not under any circumstances mention blindness. They used to sell a good, if costly, talking meter but took it off the market because they were afraid of blind people suing them. We'll buy one here and give it a run for it's money and report. Thanks for bringing this to my attension, it may be very usefull when properly combined with the appropriate sensors.
