Take time to experiment with the imager and become familiar with how the thermal image is updated on the display as you aim the imager at different targets with different thermal patterns. Notice how images display in varying colors, which are related to the different target temperatures. The color scale at the bottom of the thermal image shows the minimum and maximum temperature value in the thermal scene at any moment. These values will change as you point the imager at other targets, or if the temperatures of the current target change. The sequence or progression of different colors along the color scale indicates the distribution of the different temperatures on the thermal scene. Notice how the colors along the beginning of the color scale represent lower temperatures and colors along the end of the color scale represent higher temperatures.

Note: At this point you probably have noticed that the image freezes briefly from time to time while an hourglass icon is briefly displayed. This is a normal process that happens when the unit momentarily shuts down the optical channel to eliminate offset errors. This is a recalibration sequence that begins immediately after the unit is turned on. Recalibration occurs at 5 seconds, then 10 seconds, then 20 seconds, then 30 seconds and then finally at every other minute. It is a good idea to keep the unit On if you are using it constantly over a period of time to avoid resetting the recalibration procedure counter.

The ThermoView imager settings can be customized for your particular application. The following sub-section reviews the settings and controls.
