Working with measurement tools
Note There is an Emissivity mode setting, which you can use to enter the emissivity
by material instead of by value. Select
face options > Emissivity mode > Select from materials table.
Emissivity is the most important measurement parameter to set correctly. If the Emissivity
is set to a low value, the Reflected temperature also becomes important. The parameters
Object distance, Atmospheric temperature, and Relative humidity are relevant for longer
distances. The External IR window compensation must be activated if a protective win-
dow or external lens is used.
18.5.3 Recommended values
If you are unsure about the values, the following are recommended:
Object distance
Atmospheric temperature
Relative humidity
Reflected temperature
Emissivity
18.5.4 Procedure
You can set the measurement parameters globally. You can also change the Emissivity,
Reflected temperature, and Object distance parameters locally for a measurement tool.
Local parameters are normally only effective for a fixed setup, where each measurement
tool is set for a specific object of interest. For a general handheld application, the global
parameters are usually sufficient.
Note Emissivity and Reflected temperature are the two most important measurement
parameters to set correctly in the camera.
18.5.4.1 Setting global parameters
Follow this procedure:
1. Push the joystick to display the menu system.
2. Select
(Measurement parameters) and push the joystick. This displays a
submenu.
3. Use the joystick to select one or more of the global measurement parameters:
•
(External IR window compensation).
•
(Object distance).
•
(Atmospheric temperature).
•
(Relative humidity).
•
(Reflected temperature).
•
(Emissivity).
4. Push the joystick to display a dialog box.
5. Use the joystick to change the parameter.
6. Push the joystick to confirm and exit the menu mode.
18.5.4.2 Changing local parameters
You can change the local parameters for a measurement tool.
