Turns out to get the Optris camera calibrated to the high temp range is what is taking so long. The company is doing their very best to get MFMP a camera for the test in late January. If we had the camera now we would be making all sorts of preliminary tests. We just want to be truly ready for the important tests when the camera is available.
