By the way, the article has an interesting way of cheating the power-in measurement. See the last figure. I don't think Rossi does this but I can't rule it out. In the photos, the line cord is taken apart and the wire being measured looks like it's a single cable. I suppose Rossi could have made a special line cord with doubled conductors in each wire but that's a bit far fetched though certainly not impossible.
The January test also used a wattmeter (similar to US kilawatt). I'll note it in my fakes paper, though.
