I am integrating a L100(500A) power meter head into a workstation and I would like to know how long between "readings" do I have to wait for the head to cool or what dictates how long I can shoot into the head. I realize that I can put a beam into the head at 500W for 1 min, 300W for 2 min or 75W continuously...but what determines how long I must wait if I wanted to take a 150W reading for 20 seconds, 10 times in a row (as an example)? How long would I have to wait between shots or could I take 5 readings, then wait 1 min and take 5 more etc.
