Users Manual

Infrared Spectrum

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately adjacent to visible light; approximately from 0.7µm to microwave.

Infrared Camera

Electronics, lens, and detector combinations that give the user an image, that can be viewed or recorded, of energy in the infrared spectrum.

Infrared, Thermal

The portion of the infrared spectrum from which the majority of heat energy is recorded. This portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is defined as 3µm to microwave. However, the majority of infrared imaging occurs between 3µm and 14µm.

Isotherm

In general scientific terminology, an isotherm is set of lines on a thermogram that marks points that are of the same temperature. Your Camera modifies this definition somewhat to mean: an image that highlights the set of all pixels that lie within a specified range of temperatures.

Level

The center value of the color palette (temperature scale).

NTSC

The National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) sets the analog television standard for the United States; this format itself is also informally called “NTSC.” While a standard for the United States, NTSC format has been adopted in other countries as well, including Korea and Japan.

PAL

Phase Alternating Line is the analogue video format used in television transmission in most of Europe—except France, Bulgaria, Russia, Yugoslavia, and some other countries in Eastern Europe, where SECAM is used—Australia and some Asian, African, and South American countries.

Palette Temperatures

Maximum, center, and minimum temperatures (temperature scale) of the color palette.

Radiometric

The ability to measure thermal energy—or temperature—and display it back to the camera user.

Reflected energy

Any energy that does not radiate directly from the target object.
