3—Basic Operation of the Tau and GUI

3.13 Thermal Tab

The Tau cameras (except the Tau-D) have a rough thermal measurement capability. The Spot
Meter reports the temperature viewed by the four pixels in the center of the image. The
Isotherm mode enables special colorization of objects in the scene that are above a specified
threshold.

Spot Meter: The Spot Meter must be on before either the thermal Digital readout or
Thermometer can be displayed.
Select either Fahrenheit or Celsius to enable the Spot Meter.
Select Digital and/or Thermometer to display the symbols on the analog display.
Gain Switch Values are used to control the High Gain/Low Gain switch points. The
table switch is enabled using the Gain Mode switch on the Setup tab.
Note
The factory settings have hysteresis in the table switch settings. Changing these settings can
result in oscillatory behavior or the camera may get stuck in either high or low Gain Mode.
