Thanks Brian C. For your input. It is good to get different perspectives on this type of testing.

Our products typically have cast metal enclosures, so we coat enclosure areas with a flat painted finish to obtain reasonably accurate indication. (we find that semi-reflective, or black surfaces can “muddy the waters” ) I hope this helps. Best Regards, Brian C.
