If you want to record data automatically a pair of PC-connected multimeters like the TP4000ZC can transmit current and temperature readings to a file in a computer. ... --------------------------------- As BP indicated, it makes more sense to look at the heat loss rate which is proportional to temperature (and complicated by convection).
