IV.Thermal imaging operating instructions
The thermal imaging interface has measurement functions such as center temperature, maximum
temperature, and minimum temperature. The following figure shows the functional description of the
thermal imaging interface.
Warning:
The larger the temperature difference, the better the display effect.
During measurement, the interface may stutter and a "clicking" mechanical sound can be heard,
which is a normal phenomenon. This is because thermal imaging is sensitive to changes in ambient
temperature, and internal temperature changes can cause inaccurate temperature measurements
and blurry images. Therefore, automatic calibration processing will be performed internally.
Inaccurate setting of the measurement gear may result in blurry images. It is possible to estimate the
approximate temperature of the object being measured and set the temperature measurement gear
accordingly.
If the temperature measurement is inaccurate, you can check if the emissivity is set correctly; When
measuring metal objects, there is a significant difference in emissivity between smooth surfaces and
oxidized surfaces.
