5.4Lock/UnlockPaletteAuto‐ScaleMode

Note:Forbestresults,allowawarm‐upperiodof3‐5minutesbeforeusingthisfeature.



TheLock/UnlockPaletteAuto‐Scaleoptionallowsthecolorpaletterangetobeadjustedto

suitagivenapplication.Forexample,whenviewingbothcoldandhotobjectsinthesame

frame,thepaletteauto‐scalingwillcausethepalettetobe‘stretched’tofitthewholerange

oftemperatures.However,thiscancausesmallertemperaturevariationstodisappear,asthe

differencebetweentwocolorsmightincreasefrom1°to10°.Inthiscase,theusermay

choosetolockthescalewithonlythecoldormedium‐temperatureobject intheframe.This

wouldcausethehotobjecttosaturate,butwillprovidemoredetailtothecolderobjectsof

interest.
