5.4Lock/UnlockPaletteAuto‐ScaleMode
Note:Forbestresults,allowawarm‐upperiodof3‐5minutesbeforeusingthisfeature.

TheLock/UnlockPaletteAuto‐Scaleoptionallowsthecolorpaletterangetobeadjustedto
suitagivenapplication.Forexample,whenviewingbothcoldandhotobjectsinthesame
frame,thepaletteauto‐scalingwillcausethepalettetobe‘stretched’tofitthewholerange 
oftemperatures.However,thiscancausesmallertemperaturevariationstodisappear,asthe
differencebetweentwocolorsmightincreasefrom1°to10°.Inthiscase,theusermay
choosetolockthescalewithonlythecoldormedium‐temperatureobjectintheframe.This
wouldcausethehotobjecttosaturate,butwillprovidemoredetailtothecolderobjectsof
interest.

Iftheuserwishestonarrowtherangeofcolorandlimitittocolorsnearthecoldtemperature
image,Lock/Unlockcanbesetto‘Lock’withnohotobjectsintheframe.Tolockthescale,
presstheSelectbuttontoaccesstheMainMenu,scrolltotheLockicon,andpressSelect
againtotoggleunlock/lock.Someexperimentationandfine‐tuningmayberequiredtogetthe
bestpossiblecontrastfortheapplication.
5.5ScreenCaptureandHold
PressingtheImageCapturebutton capturesthecurrentMR160screen.Thescreenwill
hold(freeze)forseven(7)seconds,untilanimagefile‐nameappearsindicatingthattheimage
hasbeensaved.Duringthesevensecond‘hold’period,theusercansimplyexaminetheimage
andpresstheBackbuttontodiscardorpressSelect/Capturetosavetheimage
