Chapter 3 Features and Controls
This chapter introduces the basic features of the Diagnostic Thermal Imager Elite.
The thermal imager is a specialized device used to make non-contact thermal measurements, and
visually reveal heat sources to help locate and identify vehicle faults
(e.g. friction, electrical impedance, engine misfires, fluid blockage, HVAC leaks and more).
The thermal imager also has the capability to capture still images and video in all display modes
(e.g. visual light, overlay and full thermal).
In addition, the thermal imager includes a built-in feature that automatically transfers captured
images to your ALTUS™ account. ALTUS (ALTUSDRIVE.com) is a mobile-friendly cloud-based
site designed specifically for technicians to store, organize and share information, see ALTUS
(ALTUSDRIVE.com) - Image Sharing/Storage on page 41.
