Now I've never used it for this but I have a Radio Shack volt meter with a computer interface. From what I understand if I connect it to my laptop using the supplied Dual A USB cable, and install the software it can log voltages or any other function (it measures Frequency, Capacitance, resistance, and it's a thermometer among other things)
Now Radio Shacks can be hard to find and though I got a "Deal" (Fire sale type) on mine this meter is a tad pricy.. But Radio Shack does not make Multi-Meters, they buy 'em from other companies (I have my suspects on some of 'em but will not post names) so you may be able to find a meter like this)
In the old days I'd suggest a Heathkit graphing recorder, but alas. No more
The power company may be able to provide one too, however I'm not sure under the conditions.
