9.6 Measurement Mode
In the observation interface, press OK shortly to enter the main menu, and select "Measurement Settings"
with the navigation button. Press OK again to enter the secondary menu, select different measurement
modes by shifting left or right on the navigation button, and press OK to save your option.
In the observation interface, click anywhere on the screen to enter the main menu. Then click
"Measurement Settings" to select the desired measurement mode, and make it effective by clicking the
screen area.
9.7 Measurement Parameters
In the observation interface, press OK to enter the main menu, use the navigation button to select the
"parameter setting", then press OK again to enter the secondary menu. Select different temperature
measurement parameters by shifting left or right, and press the enter button to parameterize. After setting,
press OK again to save your option.
In the observation interface, click anywhere on the screen to enter the main menu. Click "Parameter
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
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.

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.

9.10 Non-uniformity Correction
9.10.1 Non-uniformity Correction Introduction
Non-uniformity correction is used to compensate for non-uniformity of detector pixels or non-uniformity
caused by other optical interference. When there are more noise in the image, non-uniformity correction is
needed, which is common when the ambient temperature changes rapidly.
