Wave and Reflow Profiler

We have used both Datapaq and ECD Mole in the past. Either system will do the job for you, slight preference would be for the ECD system.

ECD sells the MOLE, and they sell both the Oven Rider and the Wave Rider to accompany it.

The thing is, you can profile both an oven and a wave machine without either if you're willing to just solder your thermocouples to a board. The nice thing about the added modules (from the perspective of someone that's never used either) is that they don't wear out like a PCB and you don't have to keep soldering and removing thermocouples. So, the answers to your questions are yes, and depends.

That's assuming that the KIC can withstand lead-free temps. I hope that's a safe assumption, because they'd be out of business if it couldn't.

Just as an afterthought, I didn't mean to imply that KIC and/or Datapaq don't provide dedicated profiling tools that accompany their datalogger. I just don't know whether they do or not, but I do know that ECD does.
