® ThermoView TV40 Series Users Manual, Rev. 1.1, Apr 2019 9 Appendix 9.1 Field of View Calculator It is important that the ThermoView camera is mounted at a distance from the target, sufficient to be able to “see” the entire area of interest. For this reason, the manufacturer provides a field of view calculating software called “Spot Size Calculator”, which allows the calculation of the thermal image size (Field of View FOV) and the pixel size (Instantaneous Field of View IFOV) for a given lens, based on a specific camera mounting distance.
Appendix Avoidance of Condensation 9.2 Avoidance of Condensation If environmental conditions make water cooling necessary, it is strictly recommended to check whether condensation will be a real problem or not. Water-cooling also causes a cooling of the air in the inner part of the sensor, thereby decreasing the capability of the air to hold water.
® ThermoView TV40 Series Users Manual, Rev. 1.1, Apr 2019 9.3 Determination of Emissivity Emissivity is a measure of an object’s ability to absorb and emit infrared energy.
