    Technical Data Technical Data Functional Principle The thermoMETER TIM 8 and the thermoIMAGER TIM 40 calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects, see 10. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermographic image using standardized palettes. The radio- metric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software TIM Connect.
