4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
- Once connected, the app will display the live thermal feed from the camera.
- Point the thermal camera at the object or area you wish to inspect.
- Observe the temperature readings and thermal patterns on your smartphone screen.
4.2 Imaging Modes
The app offers four distinct imaging modes to suit different inspection needs:
- Thermal Mode: Displays a pure thermal image, highlighting temperature differences.
- Visible Light Mode: Uses the camera's 200W visible light sensor to show a standard visual image.
- Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode: Overlays a smaller thermal image onto a larger visible light image, combining both perspectives.
- Thermal Fusion Mode: Blends the thermal and visible light images to provide a more contextual view of temperature anomalies. You can adjust the fusion ratio to emphasize either thermal or visible details.
