D:S theoretical ( = 1/ IFOV theoretical) = 265:1 D:S measure ( = 1/ IFOV measure) is the spot size needed to provide an accurate temperature measure. Typically, D:S measure is 2 to 3 times smaller than D:S theoretical, which means the temperature measurement area of the target need to be 2 to 3 times larger than that determined by the calculated theoretical D:S.

Focus To adjust focus the IR lens rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. When the target comes into focus, it displays a sharper image. When the target moves out of focus, the thermal image becomes blurry. Note: Correct focus is important in all imaging applications. Correct focus makes sure that the infrared energy is correctly directed onto the pixels of the detector.
LED Light On the desktop, press the right button, the LED light is on. On the desktop, press the right button again, the LED light is off. Laser On the desktop, press the left button, the laser is on. On the desktop, press the left button again, the laser is off. Temperature Measurement All objects radiate infrared energy.

Emissivity The correct emissivity value is important to make the most accurate temperature measurement. Emissivity of a surface can have a large effect on the temperatures that the Thermal Imager observes. Understanding the emissivity of the surface, may not always, allow you to obtain more accurate temperature measurements.
Reflective Temperature Using the offset factor, the reflection is calculated out due to low emis- sivity, thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature measurement. In most cases, the reflective temperature is identical to the ambient air temperature. Only when objects that strongly radiate a higher tempera- ture are in proximity of the object being measured, should the reflective temperature be determined and used.
