Careful, or MassiveProg might call you a liar ;-)

No, but YOU'RE STILL a RETARD!

Also, TPI make an RS232 meter for around $160:

Nothing really exciting there though.
Although after seeing this 6 1/2 digit hand held baby with 128KB of
sample memory, no other meter will be good enough!:

The discussion was about field applications, dumbass.
krw said:Wrong. A radiant heater is far more spotty heat.
The side of the
body towards the heater is warmer than the side opposite.
Sometimes this is wanted (sitting in front of a fire), sometimes
not. Why do you think we use convection heat in homes rather than
radiant heat ("radiators are really "convectors")?
Then it's not better, unless one wants it "lower down".
Oh, *that's* why we use we use convection heat to heat out homes
rather than radiant heat ("radiators are really "convectors")?
In short, you're just as stupid a Dimbulb!
They are meant to heat AIR. They are meant to cause a flow through
them to optimize their capacity to heat air.
You're just too stupid for words.You're an idiot if you think a 100W light bulb can heat a room
faster than a properly configured 100W heater.
Nope.
Nope. There you go ignoring the losses again.
Complete baloney. A radiant heater is much larger than
a light bulb at the same wattage. It radiates at a lower
temperature over a wider area than a light bulb for the
same amount of heat energy. It is far *less* spotty
than a light bulb.
My entire home is radiant heated. Gas boiler, hot water
in pipes embedded in concrete slab, radiant in the
ceilings in the second story. Try again.
Sure is - look at the heat loss through the ceilng
described below.
You're arguing against yourself!
A light bulb heating
a room is radiant.
But in any event, we use several
different kinds of heating to heat our homes, radiant
being one of them. You can go argue your point with
the U.S. Department of Energy
http://www.eere.energy.gov/consumer/your_home/space_heating_cooling/index.cfm/mytopic=12590
There's a nice article there on radiant heating.
Ad hominum noted, and also noted is the non response
to the thermodynamic issue. Thank you for demonstrating
my point: DM was right that 100% of the energy used
by a light bulb is not converted to heat within a room,
and the thread became an ad hominum mudbath.
I see you haven't learned anything in a couple of years. Radiant
heaters are *NOT* intended to heat air.
You're just too stupid for words.
Yes, they are. AS they RADIATE out into the room, they ALSO have an
air current flowing UP through them across the element(s). Said
current gets heated.
You can squirm all you want. You are still wrong. Room A heats
faster than room B and the final temp of the room may even be hotter
after fully settling in. Very likely so.
You may know about currents and flows and the like in electronics,
but in this realm, you are either completely lost, or you refuse to
admit the facts. Nixon had that problem too. That one cost us
another 5500 souls.
MassiveProng said:]I have to confess that I looked at the Protek 6800. ;-)
LOOK FOLKS! The retard does an about face!
At $200 it's not
too shabby looking with 80,000 counts.
Not too shabby? You are, however.
The dismal 36 hour battery life
really bites though. The dealbreaker (aside from the battery life) is the
1uA resolution on current measurements. Everything else looked pretty
good.
Like you could make a better instrument.
