Bill,<br>
If you are looking for a less sophisticated and less expensive unit,
I recently purchased (on Amazon) a Seek Compact Thermal Imager that
plugs into the port on my iPhone for $236. A downloaded app runs it,
and it shows thermal images on the phone's screen. To date I have
done little more than test it out; it showed thermal images very
well, and may be all you need for troubleshooting. I think the phone
can photograph the images for a record. <br>

Fellow Wrenches,<br>

Has anyone made use of any InfraRed (Thermal) cameras for
diagnosing module performance faults?<br>

Thanks,<br>
