5.7 ‘Combination’ Feature: Save Thermal Image with Pinless Moisture Reading
The Combination feature allows the user to ‘freeze’ a thermal image and take a moisture
reading, saving both the thermal image and the moisture reading on a single image. The ‘held’
thermal image, with continuous moisture reading shown on the same screen, can then be
captured as explained in Section 5.5 above.
1. Enter the IGM Moisture or IGM Custom Image mode (refer to Section 5.2.3 Image Mode).
2. Hold the Capture button until crosshairs appear and laser are visible (Fig. 5-9(a)).
3. While continuing to hold the Capture button, aim the laser at the measurement spot
4. Release the Capture button. The image will freeze but the moisture reading will flash and
continue to update as it waits for a measurement.
5. Make the desired measurement and press the Select button to capture (save) the image;
note that the image will include the moisture reading; see Fig. 5-9(b).
6. After a seven second hold period, an image file-name will appear on the screen
(FLIRxxxx.bmp), indicating the image has been saved. During this time-out period, the
user can press Back to cancel the image capture, or Select/Capture to save the image.
