menu

On the Thermal Imager, a menu is a list of choices you can make for settings, such as time,

 

date, color palette, span and emissivity.

microbolometer

The type of thermal infrared detector used in the Thermal Imager. It is an array of 160 by 120

 

thermal sensors that respond to infrared radiation (IR).

MILWAUKEE

Short for Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp., www.milwaukeetool.com. The mailing address for the

 

company headquarters is 13135 W. Lisbon Rd., Brookfield, WI 53005, USA.

mini USB

The small USB data socket on the Thermal Imager and small USB plug on the USB interface

 

cable. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.

object temperature

Same as temperature range: the lowest measurable temperature to the highest measurable

range

temperature of a temperature measuring device such as the Thermal Imager.

operating

The lowest ambient temperature to the highest ambient temperature in which you can operate

temperature

the Thermal Imager.

palette

A thermal image color scheme. Generally, black is the coldest and white is the hottest, but you

 

can choose the colors that represent the intermediate temperatures in the scale. Palette is one

 

of the Setup menu choices in the Thermal Imager: IRON, RAINBOW and GRAY.

pixel

Picture element. One “dot” on the display or in a digital image. Many pixels are used to form

 

an image.

precision

In a measurement device, precision is how close tightly grouped readings are. Accuracy

 

combines precision and how close the reading is to a perfect measuring device or a calibration

 

laboratory standard.

radiation, thermal

Infrared emission from a target area. Thermal radiation intensity drops off predictably with

 

distance.

range

The lowest measureable temperature to the highest measureable temperature.
