Setting the Temperature Scale

2-7
In addition to the current temperature scene in false color
representation, different image elements are used in
order to show information about the camera status and
operation. The displayed image elements can be
changed and adapted with the individual requirements in
the "Image" menu using the "Elements" menu item (see
Chapter 3, Menus).
Along with the (normally always displayed) main image
elements, further system messages are displayed
depending on the current function, providing information
about the system status and intended to facilitate
operation, for example, autofocus, temperature indicators
for isotherms, temperature alarm indicators, messages
regarding critical status of the rechargeable battery, and
"Please wait…".
The thermal imager can be operated both by the control
directly attached to the camera and, depending on the
equipment, remotely using GigE or RS232.
Setting the Temperature Scale
At system start (pushing the power button ), the
camera is in Live mode. This mode is shown on the right-
hand side at the top of the screen: . In Live mode, the
current scene is shown as a false color representation of
the temperature distribution (IR image), as a video image
(visible, visible light image), or as a superimposition of IR
and visible light image (IR Fusion
®
technology). The
temperature scale of the false color representation of the
IR image can be set automatically or manually.
To automatically adapt the temperature scale to the
current scene, push the  button. Factory setting for 
button sets the scale to the highest (= upper limit) and
lowest temperature (= lower limit) of the current scene. If
the temperature scale was set before the focus was
changed, then reset the temperature scale.
Observe the calibration range limit of the currently used
measuring range. If the temperature of the current scene
is outside of the set range, an appropriate calibration
range must be selected (see Chapter 3, Menus).
The manual setting options for the ideal adjustment of the
temperature scale are described in detail in Chapter 3,
Menus.
Focus
Carefully setting the focus is important to achieve a
precise temperature measurement with the thermography
system.
