Can this be used as an instant read as well?

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.

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

It registers pretty quickly, so I think you could use it as an instant thermometer.

No. I have only used used for short (less than 10 minute) projects. I can't say one way or the other whether it is viable for using for a lengthy period of time such as reading a book.

Just put it on a shelf or hang under one and give it a little time to stabilize at the temperature oft he box.It doesn't read instantly.

yes, certainly. Just be sure to pour the liquid inside the electronics instead of on the top tray. Otherwise it will just run off.You will only have a split second to see the readout however.

From my experience, it is good for reading Information contained on 1.44 MB Floppy Discs. Hope this help answer your question.

This is VERY accurate, but it takes time to read. So, if you need a reading instantly--no. But if you can wait 15 sec, then this would work. Personally, I would try one of the other thermometers I linked to.

I think it may be able to use both outputs at the same time, but only from the same source, not from 2 different sources.Yet to verify it's capabilities...

The Manufacturer states it can be used for that purpose. I have tested it on a smoke detector and it did activate it, but not instantaneous. It responded after approximately 10 seconds of a continuous smoke stream.

Essentially, yes. It did this with mine automatically, I believe it can be programmed NOT to do this, but by default it reads the barcode and then hits "enter." Eg, is I read a barcode with my cursor in a google box, it will scan the barcode and do a google search without me hitting "enter"

I believe you can do that, but I only used for single count-up timer. Sorry for not being able to give you a definite answer.

Yes. Obviously it depends on the light bulb you use. We use it for reading.

Pretty sure you would have to continually re-set it to start over again. It pumps up, releases, displays your reading. You could certainly just continually do that for an hour or two thus getting readings every minute or so.

Yes, although it is designed to take a reading and hold that temp. Not like a candy thermo where you are reading it continually. This unit will read a wall, door, window glass, tire, wheel bearing, etc. It is really designed to read hard to reach or touch, etc. situations. This does not prevent it from doing a great job in the kitchen or anywhere else. Accuracy is +/- 2% in most applications.

You can use it for minutes and read downloads. I never had a problem with those two things.

My problem was that the readout would only read in tenths. after a dozen emails to igaging went unanswered and battery changes the only way i could get it to work would be to unplug the mini usb jack for about 10 seconds and replug. this has to be done before each use. a pain and I no longer use it.

Say I used it to weigh a box. Does it hold the time long enough so I can read it?

you can use, but don't rely on the reading. It may be a difference, if you compare with the original one.
