Note: transferring files by drag-and-drop will not delete the files in SD card. 4. Import the images into the PC analysis software "AnalyzIR" to analyze. 3.9 Laser Distance Meter (available for 340A series) The laser distance meter contains of Laser transmitter and laser receiver. It determines the distance to a target by measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to reach the target and return to the laser receiver.
! Note: If the target reflection is too low or the target is at certain angle to the laser beam, there may be no return signal and the distance cannot be measured. 3.10 Measuring Areas (available for 340A series)
Page 25
To measure areas, you need to add a temperature measurement rectangle or circle on the screen. The thermal imager will calculate the area of the rectangle or circle, according to the distance of the target. When the laser distance meter is turned on, a laser dot can be seen on the measured target.

The Thermal Imager will calculate the length of the temperature line based on the measured distance to the target. When the laser distance meter is turned on, a laser dot can be seen on the measured target.
Page 27
6. The calculated length will be displayed in the result table. Note: Avoid multiple complex targets with different distances from the thermal imager in the aiming area, otherwise it might cause measurement errors. 3.12 AI Programmable Key The AI Programmable key can be configured to multiple functions.
