LAL

Low Alarm. Units with this feature can sound an alarm when they sense that a user-defined low temperature has been reached.

Laser

Single or dual lasers are used in some units for aiming and/or locating the optimum temperature measurement point.

LOC

Location. Units with the data-logging feature store data in numbered locations, which can be recalled and reviewed on the display when necessary.

Loop

A cycle of operations within a selected mode. For example, the RUN Loop cycles through standard running operations; the LOG Loop cycles through data logging operations; and the RECALL Loop cycles through stored operations and displays the data.

Micron (or µm)

10-6meters (m), or 0.000001 m.

Minimum spot size

The smallest spot an instrument can accurately measure.

Mode

Modes are various user-selectable operations within Loops.

NETD

Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference. Peak to peak system electrical noise normally measured at the output (display or analog) expressed in °F or °C.

NIST Traceability

Calibration in accordance with and against standards traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA). Traceability to NIST is a means of ensuring that reference standards remain valid and their calibration remains current.
