A500 transmission Temparature vs Fill Question

OK... dipstick has engraved into it: "CHECK WHILE ENGINE IS WARM"

Now... describe "WARM":

Idle for 5 minutes
Idle for 1 hour
Drive around the block
Drive 10 miles
Drive 50 miles
Hold candle under transmission

    Is there a certified (not insane) mechanic who can answer and PROVE the
answer to this question. For as delicate as my transmission is (A-500 in my V8
Dakota Shelby) this is very critical for me to know.

All imput would be appreciated.
