    5.11 Streaming measurement data using Bluetooth 5.11.1 General Some IR cameras from Flir Systems support Bluetooth communication and to those cameras you can stream measurement data from the meter. The data is then merged into the result table in the IR image.
  • Page 26 5 Operation Streaming measurement data is a convenient way to add important information to an IR image. For example, when identifying a water leakage in a wall, you may want to know the humidity in the wall. The Bluetooth range is 10m (32ft) maximum. 5.11.2 Procedure Pair the IR camera with the instrument.
