Humidity Control

[Don]

Hi Ken,

It would be most interesting if you have *two* similar instruments to add a
DC system to one and then tabulate the results. My gut reaction is that
under the circumstances you list a full blown DC system may be able to
migitate the tuning/regulation issues (particularly if they were moved and
then plugged in as close to the performance as possible), but it would be
*very* nice to know.
