A few years ago I knocked together a little program that will print up customised dial cards for these meters. It's available in my files section here:

It's written in Visual Basic 6, and if you want to fool around with it here's the source:

Thanks BT!

I remember someone had done this a while back, just not who.
When I get a chance I'll try it out.

Thanks again

Thanks again BT,

Nice easy program to use. You did good.

Sorry about the blurry pix.

That's some nice neat work, I'd say that it's YOU who did good! ;-)

Somebody asked me a while back about adding a feature to it so that you could manually set up a logarithmic meter by specifying individual tick marks and numbers, but I never got around to it. Oops.
