Usingthiseventtype,youcancreateupto20eventproles,eachdeningameasurement
window within the image area. For every measurement window, you can set a minimum
range and a trigger value and you can decide if the event should trigger if the temperature
exceedsordropsbelowthespeciedvalue.Theminimumrangesetsthenumberofpixels
in the measurement window, which need to have a higher or lower temperature than the
triggervalueinordertotriggeranevent.Toconguretheneweventtype,.opentheSetup
Menu > Event Control > Event Overview dialog in the Environment Events section.
Notes
• You can only use events of the type Thermal Radiometry if the sensor is running
in linear mode . To use this mode, open Setup Menu > Image Settings > Thermal
Sensor Settings and activate the Linear Mode option. Note that this has already
been set for sensors with TR technology as factory default.
• If you want to use MxActivitySensor on sensors with TR technology, it is recom-
mended to set the value range of the measured temperatures in the Setup Menu >
Image Settings > Thermal Sensor Settings dialog to Small (high sensitivity) .
ImportantNotesonTemperatureMeasurement
The temperatures of objects in the image measured by thermal sensors is strongly
inuencedbythefollowingfactors(amongothers):
• Surface texture and color of the objects
• Distance between objects and the sensor
• Atmosphere between objects and the sensor
Dependingonthedistanceandthescene,dierenttemperaturevaluesforthesame
object can be observed. In order to determine the proper trigger value, you can use
the new variables $(SEN.TTR.CELSIUS) and $(SEN.TTR.FAHRENHEIT) (see
Using Variables inthecamera’sonlinehelp).
Forfurtherinformationonconguringandusingthermalsensors,pleaseseetheonline
