When the center of the on-screen display icon on the screen is yellow (☐), the on-screen display shows in real time; when the center of the icon is white (☐), the information on the screen is hidden.

You can customize the on-screen display, see Settings for specific operations.

Non Uniformity Correction (NUC)

Non Uniformity Correction (NUC) is used to adjust for small detector drift that occurs when the application scenario and environment changes. In general, the Imager's heat will interfere with its temperature readings. To improve accuracy, the Imager measures the temperature of its own optics and then adjusts the image based on these readings. The NUC adjusts the gain and offset for each pixel to create higher quality, more accurate images.

The NUC is automatically done at startup, when the measurement range is changed, or when the ambient temperature changes.

You can do NUC manually when you take critical measurements. For example, you may need to perform manual calibration to improve temperature measurement accuracy before starting to record a fully-radiometric video.

Temperature Span Mode

The Imager provides these modes: Auto Span (☐) and Manual Span (☐).

In Auto Span mode, the upper or lower limit of the temperature span is the global maximum or minimum temperature, and the temperature span is automatically adjusted.

In Manual Span mode, the background of the upper and lower temperature limits on the color band is gray, and the span is adjustable. When there is no gray background on the upper and lower temperature limits on the color band, the span is locked. Tap the temperature limit to switch between locked and adjustable states, as shown in Figure 8.

Note

In Manual Range (mode, if the wheel does not appear on the screen, check the on-screen display settings, and make sure on-screen display is enabled). For on-screen display settings, see Shortcut Menu Area.

Emissivity

Emissivity refers to the ratio of the energy radiated by the object under measurement to the energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature and wavelength, and it is between 0 and 1.

All objects radiate infrared energy. The actual surface temperature and emissivity of the target affects the quantity of energy radiated. The Imager senses the infrared energy from the surface of the target and uses the data to calculate an estimated temperature value. Many common materials such as wood, water, skin, cloth, and painted surfaces, including metal, radiate energy well and have a high emissivity factor of ≥90% (or 0.90). The Imager can accurately measure the temperature of targets with high emissivity.

Shiny surfaces or unpainted metals do not radiate energy well and have a low emissivity factor of < 0.60 . Adjust the emissivity settings for the Imager to accurately measure targets with low emissivity.

Warning

To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in the temperature reading to be lower than it actually is. These objects pose a burn hazard.

The Imager emissivity settings include Full-Screen Emissivity Correction and Area Emissivity Correction. For Area Emissivity Correction settings, see ROI Operation.

To set full-screen emissivity:

1. In Measurement Settings menu, tap 8
2. To customize material emissivity, slide up and down the emissivity values (0.01 to 1.0) on the left side of the screen.
3. If the material of the object under measurement is known, you can slide up and down the Material Emissivity Reference Table on the right side of the screen to select the corresponding material.
4. Tap the screen outside the pop-up window or push 📋 to return.

Reflected Temperature

Reflected temperature is used to compensate or correct the thermal radiation reflected from the target under measurement. When the target is surrounded by very hot or very cold objects, the measurement accuracy can be affected, especially when the surface emissivity of the target is low. Adjust reflected background temperature to improve measurement accuracy.

To set reflected temperature:

1. First use the Imager to test the actual temperature of the reflector near the target.
2. Tap .
3. Slide the screen up and down to set the Reflected Temperature to the temperature of the reflector measured by the Imager.
4. Tap other areas of the thermal image screen or push 📊 to complete the Reflected Temperature settings.

Environment Temperature

Environment temperature refers to the air temperature between the Imager and the target.

To set environment temperature:

1. Tap .
2. Slide the screen up and down to set Environment Temperature value to the actual air temperature.
3. Tap other areas of the thermal image screen or push 📊 to complete the Environment Temperature settings.

Note

Environment Temperature is usually a default value, set the Environment Temperature only when the air temperature is higher than the actual temperature of the target under measurement.

Humidity

The Imager can compensate for the local effects of air humidity on thermal radiation transmission. Make sure to set the humidity correctly.

To set humidity:

1. Tap

1. Slide the screen up and down to set the humidity percentage to the actual value.

2. Tap other areas of the thermal image screen or push ↻ to complete the settings.

Note

For short distances and normal humidity, humidity is usually a default value for the Imager.

Distance

The Distance refers to the distance between the target under measurement and the Imager lens. Use distance to compensate for:

- The thermal radiation from the target being measured absorbed by the air between the target and the lens.

• Thermal radiation from the air itself detected by the Imager.

To set distance:

1. Tap

1. Slide the distance value on the screen up and down to set the distance value to the actual distance between the target under measurement and the Imager lens.

2. Tap other areas of the thermal image screen or push ↻ to complete the settings.

Transmittance

Optical transmittance refers to the transmittance of external lens or IR window used in front of the Imager lens.

When IR inspection is performed through an IR window, not all of the IR energy emitted by the target is transmitted through the optical material of the window. If the transmittance of the window is known, the transmittance percentage can be adjusted in the Image or the SmartView IR software to improve measurement accuracy.

To set transmittance:

1. Obtain the actual transmittance of the external lens or external IR window.

2. Tap .

3. Slide up and down the transmittance values on the screen (0.01 to 1.0) to set it to the actual values measured.

4. Tap other areas of the thermal image screen or push 📄 to complete the settings.

Note

If optional external optical lens has been calibrated at the factory, or there is no external infrared window, optical transmittance is usually the default value of the Imager.

Base Temperature

After Base Temperature is enabled, the temperature value displayed on the full screen (including full screen temperature and marker temperature) is the difference between the actual temperature and the reference temperature. Figure 17 shows a comparison of measurement readings before and after applying base temperature.

TWB Technology

In general, the thermal image color is uniformly distributed in a linear way (linear color distribution) from the lowest to the highest temperature.

If there are many high-temperature interference sources on site, and the interference and the target under measurement all appear in the same field of view, then the greater the temperature difference between them. This makes it more difficult for the linear color distribution to clearly show the thermal gradient of the target under measurement. An example of such case is shown in Figure 27.

NUC ...

Figure 27. The Image Before TWB Technology

The TWB technology can help you clearly display the thermal gradient details of all target objects in high temperature difference scenario, as shown in the Figure 28.

Thermal Image/Video Analysis

The Imager has measuring and analysis tools in the Image Freeze and Gallery View interfaces. The Imager can accurately diagnose and analyze the target at the test site without analysis software for PC.

Depending on different capture modes, the images that can be analyzed include:

• Fully-Radiometric Thermal Images
- PIP Images
• Fully-Radiometric Videos

The analysis operation of a thermal image/video is similar whether it is an image/video in the image freeze interface during shooting or an existing file opened from the Gallery.

The following takes an image/video in the image freeze interface during shooting as an example to introduce the thermal image/video analysis. For the analysis of a thermal image/video in the Gallery, the differences, if any, are presented in the form of notes.
