Save Captured Infrared Image

To save an image as a data file:
1. Focus on the object of interest or inspection area.
2. Push the Image Capture button to capture the image.
The image is now in the buffer and you can save or
edit.
3. Push  to save the image as a file and go back to
the live view.

Micro SD Memory Card

To eject a Micro SD memory card, push in on the exposed
edge of the card and then release. The card should pop
partially out after you release it. Carefully pull the card out
of the slot.
To insert the Micro SD memory card, push the card in until
it catches.
The Micro SD memory card includes an SD adapter for
insertion into a PC or multi-function card reader.
For information about how to save data, see page 19. For
information about how to view or erase a stored image,
see page 33.

Temperature Measurement

All objects radiate infrared energy. The quantity of energy
radiated is based on the actual surface temperature and
the surface emissivity of the object. The Imager senses the
infrared energy from the surface of the object and uses
this data to calculate an estimated temperature value.
Many common objects and materials such as painted
metal, wood, water, skin, and cloth are very good at
radiating energy and it is easy to get relatively accurate
measurements. For surfaces that are good at radiating
energy (high emissivity), the emissivity factor is ≥90 % (or
0.90). This simplification does not work well on shiny
surfaces or unpainted metals as they have an emissivity of
<0.60. These materials are not good at radiating energy
and are classified as low emissivity. To more accurately
measure materials with a low emissivity, an emissivity
correction is necessary. Adjustment to the emissivity
setting will usually allow the Imager to calculate a more
accurate estimate of the actual temperature.
 Warning
To prevent personal injury, see emissivity
information for actual temperatures. Reflective
objects result in lower than actual temperature
measurements. These objects pose a burn
hazard.
