Setting" to set the parameter.After finishing the setting, click the screen area to take effect.
Emissivity: in order to obtain more accurate measurement results, you need to set the emissivity
according to the target to be measured before each measurement, instead of using the default
configuration. Emissivity refers to the ratio of the radiant ability of an object to the radiant ability of a
blackbody at the same temperature, which is relative to the reflectivity of the object. The lower the
emissivity, the higher the proportion of energy being reflected. The higher the emissivity, the lower the
proportion of energy being reflected. For example, the emissivity of human skin is 0.98, and the
emissivity of printed circuit boards is 0.91. For more information on emissivity, you can refer to the
quick start guide in the package or inquire from other sources.
Ambient temperature: the reflection temperature of the object surface will affect the measurement

Tianxuan M Series Handheld Thermal Camera ·User Manual

result, especially when the object emissivity is low or the object temperature and the reflection
temperature differ greatly, this effect will increase. So the result needs to be compensated to
eliminate influences of the surface reflection temperature. However, it is usually difficult to determine
the reflected temperature of an object. The ambient temperature can be used to replace the reflected
temperature in actual measurement.
Distance: distances have effects on the measurement results. In order to get accurate measurement,
distance information of the object is necessary for the thermal camera to compensate the result.
4.7 Palettes
In the observation interface, short press OK to enter the main menu, and select "palette setting" with the
navigation button. Press OK again to enter the sub menu, select different palettes by shifting left and right
on the navigation button, and then press the enter button to save your option.
In the observation interface, click anywhere on the touch screen to enter the main menu. Click "palette
setting" to choose a palette and save your option by clicking the screen area.
4.8 Image Mode
4.8.1 Image Mode Introduction
Four image modes are available.
Thermal Fusion: an image fused to a certain scale between an infrared image and a visible image
PIP: infrared image superimposed at the center of the visible image
Thermal imaging: infrared images
Digital camera: visible images
Note: For better dual-light image effects, when in PIP or thermal fusion modes, you need to set the actual
distance, that is, the approximate distance from the thermal camera to the object. If the preset registration
parameters cannot meet the requirements, you can also manually perform fusion registration in the
settings.
4.8.2 Setting Steps
In the observation interface, press OK shortly to enter the main menu, and select "image mode" through
the navigation button. Then press OK again to enter the secondary menu, there different image mode can
