Recording an Image

Recording images with the ThermoView imager is simple. Repeat the steps below and record as many images you want until you get familiar with the process.

ξ First, note the number of the current image location. At this point, if you have not stored any images, the location number should be set at 1 (default) and the location descriptor will be blank. Similar to a camera, each image is numbered, so you may refer to images as one, two, three, etc. up to 100 images.

ξ Point the ThermoView imager at the target you want to record. Make sure the crosshatch at the center of the image pinpoints the spot of interest. Pull the trigger once and release it. This freezes the displayed image.

ξ Carefully inspect the image: If the result is satisfactory, press the Up button and the image will be stored at the current location, and the location counter will increment to next position automatically.

ξ If the image is not satisfactory: Press and release the trigger to discard the frozen image. ξ Repeat the procedures described above to record more images.
