I have not read that book, but you can do bench testing instead of star
measurements...and you're in control of more experimental factors/variables
that way.

See:
http://overton2.tamu.edu/aset/krajci/
specifically:
http://overton2.tamu.edu/aset/krajci/st-7/st-7.htm
and
http://overton2.tamu.edu/aset/krajci/st-7-new/st-7-new.htm

I'll be happy to answer questions you may have.

Good luck!
