Hi!

First of all thank you for providing this useful multimeter tool! I found 4 bugs in the Measurement class:

• Instead of "DIODE", you wrote "DIDOE"
• On line 146, in the 'unit' property, it should be return self._data['unit'] instead of return self._data['display_unit'].
• The Decimal.rotate function doesn't work for right-shifting (for negative exponents)
• When in overload mode, the 'unit' variable retains the exponent prefix, e.g. "mV" instead of "V".

To fix the last two issues, I rewrote lines 242 - 245:

        if self._data['unit'][0] in self._EXPONENTS:
            if not self._data['overload']:
                self._data['decimal'] = self._data['decimal']*decimal.Decimal(10)**self._EXPONENTS[self.unit[0]]
            self._data['unit'] = self._data['unit'][1:]  # remove first char

Added a extensible list of USB vendor and product ids for UT161E : "meters".
See fork at https://github.com/okvittem/unit_ut61eplus.git
Please feel free to pull back.
UT61E and UT161E seem to be very alike so no other changes made.
Works like a charm - thanks for your code @ljakob .
