I'm interested in any information about a product made by Temptronic
Corp. of Newton, MA.

I'm particularly interested in their airstream unit model # TPO412A.
It's a microprocessor-based airstream system for testing and
characterizing electronic components, modules and circuit boards at
high and low temperatures. I have their brochure. I have talked to
their PNW rep. ( he's a dolt ). I still have lots of questions.

Such as what are the air requirements ( how big an air compressor
should I get )?

Is ESD a concern with at high temp ( any ionization problems )?

How is the " five temperature select module"?

How is the software?

How quickly will it heat a > .8 sq. ft. PCB to 85 degrees C?

How good is the probe through material?

Lot's of other questions.

If anybody here in netland has used the Temptronics airstream I'd
appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks you,
