    Yes, I'm aware of all the cautions regarding the thermocouple.
Almost every website I read has a thermocouple warning, the only person 
that says "relax, if the thermocouple is still good your unlikely to 
burn it out," is a guy that worked at Boonton and has his inspection # 
on many units.
My sig Gen with a 50 ohm output impedance would not drive enough current 
to harm the thermocouple.
When the Multiplier is set to 1, there is 20mv across the 0.02 ohm 
resistor, that is one amp of current! About all I can get out of my
sig gen is 200ma.
   But yes, the part is unobtainable, so I use care.
Easy to monitor the voltage across the LOW connector and GRD, that
is the voltage across the 0.02 ohm resistor.
                                  Thank, Mikek
