  Wire.requestFrom(MECO603_I2CADDR, 4); // Request 4 bytes of data
  int voltage = Wire.read() << 8 | Wire.read(); // Read high and low bytes of voltage measurement
  float voltageValue = (voltage / 100.0); // Convert to volts
  
  Serial.print("Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltageValue);
  Serial.println(" V");
  
  delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
}

def read_current():
  ser.write(b'CURR?
') # Send command to read current measurement
  time.sleep(0.1) # Allow the multimeter to respond
  response = ser.readline().decode().strip()
  return float(response)
while True:
  current_value = read_current()
  print("Current: {:.2f} A".format(current_value))
  time.sleep(1) # Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
```
