Hi All,

For those of you who have 2 different meters on the go ie maybe 1 at work & 1 at home........how can you get accurate average meter readings?

If both meters are of the same type and they have software, you should be able to download both sets of reading into the software.

Otherwise you will need to use pen and paper or a spreadsheet to record the values and work out the averages.
 
I've always used up to 3 meters of the same model at any one time, so I always have a spare, but don't bother with software to average results. Comparing results from meters of different models just adds too many potential variables to those already present!
 
I suppose a way of getting around it would be to enter your results (if you wanted to) into an online diary, one which has targets, graphs etc.
