■ Spotpos
■ Spotdim
■ Spoteps
These states serve to define and process measurement spots or measurement areas (generally ROI,
Region Of Interest).
An ROI of the resolution of (2 x 2) pixels is defined as a measurement spot. Measurement spots are used
for "punctiform" temperature measurement whereas the result is stated as an average of the image
pixels. If the spot is enlarged to become a measurement area, the display of the local minimum and
maximum temperatures in addition to the average is possible. The display of Minimum/Maximum can be
activated via the 9.6.3 Menu "Measure", page 33.
The temperature for an ROI can be displayed via the measurement value table displayed in the lower
right corner or directly in the ROI. The respective adjustment must be made in the main menu (9.6.1
Menu "Image", Fig. 65, page 25).
