Real-time saving is started and terminated (immediately)
by pushing the joystick Enter button in the "Real time"
submenu. The following displays are shown with the real-
time saving function executing (additionally to the live
image).
• activated real-time saving function by checkmark in
the menu
red dot for currently executed saving, as well as the
•
time elapsed since the start on the right side below
the palette
SDHC card symbol in the symbol line on the right
•
side below the thermal image: yellow (permanent
write access)
During real-time saving, only thermal images are stored in
the is3 format. This way, it is possible to subsequently
edit and correct the digital data of the sequence using the
analysis software. Precise temporal allocation of the data
is ensured by consecutive numbering of the single
images within the sequence and by saving time stamps in
the header.
When (geometrically) allocating the thermal
image sequence to a photo of the scene, it is
recommendable to install the thermal imager on
a tripod in a stationary manner and to save a
photo before or after real-time saving in
®
IR Fusion mode.

Note
Video saving
If the saved data of a serial measurement does not
require any radiometric editing or if displaying the
temperature by means of shown measuring objects
and/or allocating the temperatures using the false color
representation is sufficient, non-radiometric video can be
performed (as an alternative to real-time saving of the
digital raw data).
In this case, the currently displayed image area, including
all selected image elements (for the setting, see Elements
Submenu on page 3-14) are saved as a video sequence
(AVI file) and can be displayed with generally available
player software (media player). The menu (to the left of
the image), as well as the help and status symbol lines
(below the image) are not saved in the video. In analogy
to real-time saving, non-radiometric video can be started
and/or deactivated (immediately) by pushing the joystick
Enter button in the "Video" submenu.
If the thermal imager is to be used as a "classic video
camera" for real images ("visible"), the image mode must
be set to "Digital image" in the "Settings" menu before
starting the video recording (see Mode Submenu on
page 3-7). It is furthermore possible to record videos in
®
the "IR Fusion " image mode upon corresponding
previous selection. Since, taking the saved video data as
a basis, no subsequent temperature correction for
changed parameters (emissivity, ambient temperature,
transmission, path temperature) is possible, these
parameters should be set correctly before the recording
