Temperature
Select TEMPERATURE from the GAGE menu. This command
displays the current temperature of the Gage and the elapsed time
of the temperature sampling.
Because different components heat up or cool down at different
rates, the Gage must be at a steady state temperature (within ±3°
Celsius for five minutes) before measuring with the device.
