Thanks a lot for your very fast and detailed info (and even from a professional
).
It's really sad that Guide no longer manages to provide a reliable "DIY update" option. I actually really like this PC210.
But already knowing that a future update isn't possible at all or only laborious and subject to a fee, makes me think
about alternatives again (my local seller would be in the Netherlands, for example). Well, and it also doesn't sound
so nice if possible bugs aren't fixed by updates anyway. Temperature readings would be quite interesting for me...
Now I'm tend towards the B20 or nice Pocket2. Both are a bit more expensive, but also offer added value. By the way,
I'm also considering buying a book with good basics about thermography
). I would like to use a thermal imager not
only for house & Co., but also for some "scientific" applications: evaluation of faulty and self-designed circuit boards,
vacuum technology stuff (e.g. bake-out of a recipient), cryogenics (e.g. insulation of dewars) - all for hobby projects.
