2.1.3. Measuring Temperature at a Point in the Image (Point) 

The 

Point

 

 cursor option displays a single cursor along with the temperature at the current cursor location. 

You can move the cursor with the up, down, left, and right directional buttons to display the temperature at 
different points in the thermogram. 

2.1.4. Measuring Temperatures of a Zone in the Image (Square) 

The 

Square

 

 cursor option displays a square on the screen, with the maximum and minimum temperatures 

within the square also displayed. Use the directional buttons to move the square on the screen. You can also 
resize the square by pressing the up and left buttons simultaneously to reduce the size, or down and right to 
increase the size. 

2.1.5. Displaying the Temperature Profile of a Line in the Image (Profile) 

The 

Profile

 

 cursor option displays the temperature profile of a user-selectable horizontal line defined by the 

cursor on the screen. The profile is displayed as a graph in the lower part of the screen. This cursor also identifies 
a point on this line and indicates its temperature. 

2.1.6. Displaying Points at the Same Temperature in an Image (Isotherm) 

The 

Isotherm 

 cursor option displays all points that fall within the same temperature range in the same color 

within a certain tolerance. When you choose this icon, you are prompted to choose the color (green, red, or 
brown) to display the points.  
 

After you press

 F2

 

 to save the color selection, the screen displays the thermogram. You are then prompted to 

enter the reference temperature (via the up and down buttons) and tolerance size (via the left and right buttons).  
Both the reference temperature and the temperature range (defined as 

± the tolerance setting) are displayed at 

the bottom of the screen. In addition, the palette graphically displays the temperature range. 

All points in the 

image whose temperature falls within this defined range are displayed in the selected color. 

2.2. Freezing Palette Colors 

By default, thermogram colors are calculated for each image (based on the highest and lowest temperatures in 
the image) and assigned accordingly. As a result, the same color may not represent the same temperature in 
different images. 
 
You can “freeze” the palette to ensure each color represents the same temperature in all images. When the 
palette is frozen, a red padlock appears on the palette. The minimum and maximum values are also displayed in 
red. 
 
To enter frozen palette mode, do either of the following: 

 

Press 

F2 

or

 F3

 when this button’s function is displayed as 

 

Press 

F1 

 

in the Main screen and select Parameters. Then select the 

 icon and choose the 

Manual option. 

 
When you enter frozen palette mode, the minimum temperature displayed on the left end of the palette enters 

edit mode for 2 seconds (highlighted in blue with the 

 symbol) so you can increase or decrease this value 

using the up and down buttons. 
 
To modify the maximum temperature setting, press the right button when the minimum setting is in edit mode. 
This highlights the maximum value, which remains in edit mode for 2 seconds. Use the up and down buttons to 
increase or decrease this value. If you do not press a button within 2 seconds, edit mode is disabled. 
 

To re-edit these values, press 

F3

 when the 

 icon is displayed (or select 

 in the Parameters menu) to 

enable edit mode for the minimum value. 
 
To exit frozen palette mode, do one of the following: 

 

Not in edit mode: press 

F2 

or

 F3 

twice while the 

 icon is displayed. 

 

Edit mode: Press 

F2 

or

 F3 

once

 

while the 

 icon is displayed. 

 

Open the Parameters menu and select 

. Then select Automatic.
