is there such a thing as
a digital thermometer - that is cheap small fast and wide range?
what would be perfect is a regular medical type -
if it would ONLY read from 0F to 200F.
is there such a thing?
all the ones i have seen, have a range of about 85F-110F.
and i cannot find any actual published info on the ranges,
they seem to never mention the range, assuming that
you will only use it for medical purposes, i guess.
specs:
cost:
< $20
dimensions:
long form factor : up to ball-point pen size,
or short form factor: diameter of a quarter, 3/8 thick
accuracy:
+/- 2F
range:
-40F to 300F nice
0F to 140F necessary
speed:
reads air temp within 10 sec
this is the least important spec, it can take up to 60 sec
if everything else is within specs.
also i would like it to be on all the time, not have to press
a button.
battery life should be one year or more.
wle.
