Don't know if anybody responded, or not. But first I would change your interface to include analog signals (I firmly believe in never blinding the computer to what's really going on)
Second, the only IF temp meters I remember were made by Raychem, or such back in the 70's. But they at least have to have an analog output to interface to your computer. Third, write the testing program in the highest level language possible. (else support will be pure hell) - Robert - Robert A.
