Yeah we used thermocouples taped in places all over avionics packages at work. Then we had a computer log each one every second or so IIRC. Very detailed and very eye opening as to where the heat goes. Of course we would need to come up with a custom can that would allow the thermocouple wire to exit the re-stuffed E-Cap. We could gather a ton of data and come up with a 15 page report. But then would we really do anything different than what we are doing today?
