Operation

5.1

Measurement

It is possible to store up to 6000 images per GB on a microSD card.
To take and save a thermal image, you need to:
1. point the thermal camera at the object or area you want to measure,
2. pull the trigger to take an image,
3. press the "Enter" key to save the image or the "Menu" key to discard the image.
We recommend to regularly make a backup of the SD card to store the files safely.
5.2

Further functions

Picture-in-picture / parallax error
The picture-in-picture function makes it easier to evaluate the thermal images. The IR image is
laid over the digital image, with the coverage set by the user. This helps you to assign the IR
image to the measured objects without any problems.
Use the ▲and ▼ keys to set the coverage ratio to a value between 0 and 100 %.
In order to compensate the parallax error caused by the arrangement of the IR and the digital
camera, you can set the distance to the measuring object to up to 3 m in four steps, using the
Left and Right key.
