No reason (that I can see) for it not to work "as well" for
us--assuming it actually enhanced reliability of the 100 calipers! I
guess we could ask the author of the article, who invites email
questions about the modification (it's been 3 yrs since he posted the
article):

"Frågor om modifieringen kan mailas direkt till Dusko Kondic."

BTW Jani, the link you gave for the article wouldn't work for me
until I modified it as follows:
