This might be a dumb question:
Can I use a packetflux current shunt to measure current on AC, or are
they strictly for DC?
DC only, mostly because you can't read it fast enough :-) It's also not
isolated, it's referenced to the 0VDC line if I recall correctly. AC on
it's probably not going to go well.
These guys make things that will happily measure AC for you:

Ok, I have a second dumb question:
The shunt input on a Site Monitor II is just measuring microvolts
right? So if I'm not using it for a shunt, can I instead use that for
a thermocouple temperature probe?
Possibly, but the impedance might not be high enough.
