13.6 Changing the object parameters
For accurate measurements, you must set the object parameters:
• External IR window compensation.
• Object distance.
• Atmospheric temperature.
• Relative humidity.
• Reflected temperature.
• Emissivity.
You can set the object parameters globally. You can also change the Emissivity, Re-
flected temperature, and Object distance parameters locally for a measurement tool.
For more information, see section 15.5 Changing object parameters, page 54.
13.7 Calibrating the camera
13.7.1 General
The calibration of the camera is performed as a non-uniformity correction (NUC). A NUC
is an image correction carried out by the camera software to compensate for different
sensitivities of detector elements and other optical and geometrical disturbances
1
.
Calibration is needed whenever the output image becomes spatially noisy. The output
can become spatially noisy when the ambient temperature changes (such as from day to
night operation, and vice versa).
The calibration is carried out automatically when needed. It is also possible to perform a
calibration manually.
While the calibration is in progress, the text Calibrating... is displayed.
13.7.2 Manual calibration
You may, for example, want to perform a manual calibration just before you start record-
ing a video sequence.
13.7.2.1 Procedure
Follow this procedure:
1. To perform a manual calibration, push and hold the Image archive button
for
more than 2 seconds.
NOTE
You can also assign the function Calibrate to one of the programmable buttons. Select
(Settings) >
Programmable buttons .
13.8 Hiding all overlay
13.8.1 General
The camera overlay consists of overlay graphics and image overlay information. The
overlay graphics include items such as measurement tool symbols, result tables, and
status icons. The image overlay information, which you activate on the Settings menu,
provides additional information such as the date, emissivity, and atmospheric
temperature.
You can choose to hide all camera overlay by the press of a programmable button.
