It is one meter (not meters), and it is used for data acquisition during the run. Why wouldn't he use it? It cost him an arm and a leg.
Actually, as I recall, at the latter stages of this research he no longer bothered to use the HP gadget. The HP was spontaneously resetting and going out to lunch when I was there, and I think he trashed it after that. He depended solely upon the Yokogawa, which outputs the data in all kinds of convenient formats. It interfaces to the computer, kind of like a super sophisticated version of the HP.
He has not done this experiment much since the cell blew up on him last year. - Jed
