Does '120 seconds in measurement' mean that it takes 2 minutes to read your temperature? Thanks.

Dear Sue, Thanks for your mesage. The "120 seconds in measurement" does not mean must be measured 2 minutes. Usually you just measure 50-60 seconds. But when you measure 120 seconds, it is more accurate. This time the temperature degree is closer to your actual body temperature. Please let me know if you have any question or need any additional information. Thank you! Best regards, Wimpy Kid

Yes. I am a bit disappointed it takes that long. Also, it only reads in Celcius.

it has a tollerance of + or - 3% on 100' so if you have a wire that reads 100' it could be 103 or 97' also it is important to have the meter in the same temp. as the wire for 10-15 min. before taking the measurment.as temp effects resistance

Yes , Sort of. It is a little slower than most "instant read" thermometers, but fast enough to do the job at home. A little less convenient also, two pieces cable etc.

More info: I used it again, but this time I timed it. I guess "time passes quickly when you're having fun," because it actually took a full 10 minutes! Not your 15 but maybe yours is OK. You may have a different make. No idea why I gave the prior answers of 2 -3 minutes and 5. Sorry.

No, it has a timer, which has a maximum of two hours. Also the temperature is set by the user.

Instantly. Although if you set it for the average wind speed over 10 seconds you would need to wait 10 seconds to get an accurate reading.

This depends on so many things, including how much load the computer/monitors/etc. are taking, and how old the battery is. A nice thing about this model is that it has a digital readout which will tell you how many minutes. Generally, it will be a few minutes only.

I didn't try. I'm not sure it even does read out Ferenheit temps. I just converted the F temps I wanted to C to acheive the desired results. Sorry...

It takes about a minute or so I would say. Its much longer than a regular thermometer.

Yes you can measure seconds. So you can set for one minute 30 seconds if you want.

I bought this as a gift and did plenty of research into the same question and the answer I found was yes, this prob should, according to the manufacturer, read two different temperatures at once.

It's not instant but if you just want a quick temp read, it takes a few seconds.

Immediately. It will be displaying the ambient temperature and will start to escalate up to the temperature of whatever you are cooking as soon as you insert it into the product you are measuring. It takes a very short time to reach the actual temperature of the product.

You just put in 2:30, it represents 2 min and 30 seconds. It works for mine.

No more than 1 1/2 to 2 minutes minutes! It gets pretty hot! But depending on what your tolerance is...more or less

It shows current weight for about 10 seconds after use. Have not seen any indication of prior readings but then I have not really investigated that.

It is consistent +/- 0.3 degrees.... There are variables of the user technique and subject. For example, I've had patients take off a hat and it reads at least a degree or two higher than it will only 30 seconds later. Also, distance from skin is a factor. You must consider too that body temperature, while remaining within a narrow homeostatic range, does vary itself from moment to moment. What I will say is that this meter INVARIABLY detects elevated temperatures and fever.
