I found that in order to get good readings I painted a round circle of flat
black a little over an inch in diameter, and held the gun very close.
Bright metal surface, or reading to large an area will give incorrect
readings.

The gun belongs to my hangar neighbor. He is an electronics engineer
(another one. i'm gona puke :)). First he calibrated the gun. Than he
pointed it to the area closest to the temp sensor by the oil pressure
sensor. The temp reading was same as the EM2 water temp reading. Than
he moved to the pump outlet, thin wall 1.5" aluminum tube. the
reading was lower.
I could not believe it so we did it again. Same results.
