There exist terminal blocks for thermocoupl= es that=20 are fabricated with the metals used in the thermocouple=2E

while there should be no issue in u= sing=20 this for the P2 connector it isn't really all that necessary as those poin= ts=20 are for fixed sensors that won't be moved=2E P1 is where it would be reall= y=20 handy, as some of those 8 T/C's will be moved to various locations for var= ious=20 tests and running T/C extension wire back to the EMU will be somewhat of a=20= pain=2E

Hi Todd,

I concur with everything you said=2E I also want= ed=20 the terminal block for the T/C inputs, but realized in talking to=20 Tracy that it would probably introduce too much error=2E =20

What I did instead, was solder 4- 8 foot long=20 sections of T/C wire from the P1 connector on the bench=2E I used the=20 smallest, stranded wire I could get, but it still sucked=2E The ends=20 of these pairs are twisted tightly, and soldered to make a probe (Tracy's=20= idea, and it works)=2E These are long enough to reach anything I might=20= need to test, and coil up into about a 5" diameter coil when not in use=2E= =20
