A life before technology does not seem to be a life I would like to live in. 
When I think about how people used to manage a client’s irrigation system, a system that they did not install, I can only imagine how labor intensive that could be. If a valve or wiring was buried how would you find it without using your best judgment and digging random holes?
Accurately finding network cable length, opens, and shorts is the bread and butter of many a business. The T3 Innovation SS200 Snap Shot does this perfectly, making it 
a….Snap.
Today let’s talk about inexpensive thermal cameras, specifically the Fluke TiS. As you heard from me previously, and know from being in the field, Fluke is a manufacturer at the top of their game. The Tis is Fluke’s entry level offering in the thermal market and it is, as usual, a solid piece of equipment.
Providing clients with proof that your work is installed properly is becoming more and more commonplace. Companies spend a lot of money to have networks installed in their offices and they want some guarantee that things are what you say they are.
This is a post in praise of Fluke. I honestly carry no bias in this and many companies make great products that are comparable in lots of ways. This post is just to let you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase Fluke, specifically their line of thermal imagers.
Even the most versatile tools won’t do everything. I’m sorry to tell you but the thermal camera that also takes electrical readings, tests fiber optic cables, analyzes combustible gases, and cooks you scrambled eggs hasn’t been invented yet. Joking aside, the lesson is that you need choose a tool that, while flexible, is tailored to tackle your specific job. So how do you choose a Fluke camera?

Hello all,
Today I will be discussing the Byte Brothers LVPRO3 Cable and Device Tester. Going into this assignment, I will be honest, I didn’t know much about this tester, but after doing my research, I have come to be a big fan. This tester crams up to 14 different test apps into one unit that can handle just about any job you throw at it.
