Discussion of precise voltage measurement

Keithley 2001 Multimeter Fault

I have had luck a couple of times sweeping an IR thermometer across a PCB
when the finger was not sensitive enough to find the hot part. A shorted
part that has plenty of copper soldered to it can sometimes be only a little
warmer the the nearby components.

All I need to do now is hot melt the IR thermometer to the old plotter......

Thanks John, I plan to start the search in a few hours. Wish I had a thermal
imaging camera!

Nice idea - that might just be the excuse I need to get one!
