Using Laser Pointer

Using Laser PointerXWWarning*To avoid injury, use your camera’s Class 2 laser pointer only as instructed.

Use the laser function to help you point out the object you are aiming

the camera towards. For example, use the laser to show a colleague where

a problem is physically located. Using appropriate IR Fusion blend levels and color palette settings allows the red laser dot to be in the visible

light image only.

Assign the Laser function to a programmable button (see Chapter 2). Then, press and hold A,B, or Cto use the laser; release when finished. An icon appears on the display screen to indicate the laser is activated.

Using Thumbnail Browser

Assign the Thumbnail Browser function to a programmable button (see Chapter 2).

Use the radio buttons on the thumbnail browser window to switch between IR- only, fused, and VL-only image thumbnail displays. Selecting one of these views does not change the image file; fused images are rendered according to the blend level setting for each image file.

Using Color Alarms

Note

This feature is not available on the Ti40 or Ti50.

The color alarm function allows you to highlight target object areas of thermal interest by selectively fusing the visible light image with portions of the infrared image. For example, you can specify a temperature range. Then, any target object temperatures either inside or outside of the range, depending on what you set, are highlighted in the infrared color that corresponds to that temperature (based on the color palette settings).

You can choose to highlight temperatures either inside or outside of the range specified. You can also choose to highlight only temperatures above or below a threshold setting.
