• Reflected temperature
This is used when compensating for the radiation from the surroundings reflected by
the object into the camera. This property of the object is called reflectivity.
• Distance
The distance between the camera and the object of interest.
• Relative humidity
The relative humidity of the air between the camera and the object of interest.
• Atmospheric temperature
The temperature of the air between the camera and the object of interest.
• External IR window
Used if any protective windows etc. are set up between the camera and the object of
interest. When the setting is on, the following parameters can be set:
◦ Transmission: How much of the thermal radiation passes through the window.
◦ Temperature: The temperature of the window.
You can set the object parameters globally. You can also change the Emissivity, Re-
flected temperature, and Distance parameters locally for a measurement tool.
Note
• The local parameter settings override the global values.
• Of the object parameters, Emissivity and Reflected temperature are the two most im-
portant to set correctly in the camera.
10.4.3.1 Global parameters
The global parameters are shown in the bottom right corner of the screen, below the Ac-
tive measurements section.
To change the global parameters, follow this procedure:
1. In the bottom right corner of the screen, click to select the parameter to change.
2. Change the parameter to the desired value, and then press Enter or click anywhere
on the screen.
3. To reset the global parameters to the default values provided by FLIR, click Reset.
10.4.3.2 Local parameters
The local parameter settings override the global values. To change the local parameters,
follow this procedure:
1. In the Active measurements section, click Settings
next to the tool for which
you want to change the parameters. The Settings dialog box appears.
2. To activate the use of local parameters, select the Local parameters check box. The
values for the Emissivity, Reflected temperature, and Distance parameters are now
editable.
3. To deactivate the use of local parameters, deselect the Local parameters check box.
4. When completed, click Save changes.
10.4.4 Working with image modes
The camera captures both thermal and visual images at the same time. By your choice
of image mode, you select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
• Thermal: The camera displays a fully thermal image.
