Figure 24: Positioning the Scanner
For a multiple scanner system there is with <Overlapping points> an additional mode available to
determine the programs behaviour in the overlapping area:
<Automatic>: the program internal algorithm determines which pixels in the overlapping area
will be taken for the final merged thermal image either from one scanner or the
other scanner. The automatic mode is always useful if one scanner is being
hindered from monitoring the complete kiln by physical obstructions and also by
shadows from the tires but the other scanner is not.
<Manual>: Provides a scanner ranking to determine which scanner provides the pixel in the
overlapping area for the final merged thermal image.
6.2.4.1 <Settings> for Scanner or Pyrometer
From this screen you can configure the communication parameters and the device
emissivity/transmission setting. It is also possible to assign an output for the alarm in case the internal
temperature exceeds the maximum setting. The parameters that we are describing are applicable for
scanners and also for pyrometers.
