The level of design ability needed is still moderate, and for a skilled 
designer, the effort to produce one for a friend in need is moderate. 
The I/O is probably going to cause more head-ache than the measurement 
engine anyway. Even a serial port with binary data takes some care in 
designing.

Getting it right with a DSP could be just as challenging.
