Both of mine get quite hot but I've never measured the temperature. I have placed mine in a cold drafty area of a cold room in my basement. I figure the heat output can help heat the room.
I pull data from them via gpib (over ethernet) and distribute some of the signals being measured via cables from other rooms so I have some freedom as to their location. ------------------------------ On Fri, 9 Mar, 2012 1:29 PM EST John Lofgren wrote: >I believe so.
