The
5.1 Field of View (FOV) ratio
= Distance to Diameter (DS) ratio
The field of view is the angle of vision at which the
instrument operates , and is determined by the optics
of the unit. The FOV is the ratio of the distance from the
target to the target diameter. The smaller the target , the
closer you should be to it . When the target diameter i s
small, it is important to bring the thermome ter closer to the
target to insur e t hat only the target i s measured,e xcluding
the surroundings.
