Carb heat specs?

Will someone please point me to the specification for effective carburetor
heat? A friend is in the midst of his flight testing and asked me how one
determines if the carb heat is working properly. All's I know is that if the
rpm drops a hunnert or so on run-up, you say, "Check" and take off.

My bad! I did read that thread and forgot all about it. Should have done a
search - I apologize.
