4.2 Key Functions in Detail

4.2.1 Over Temperature Alarm

Figure 4.2: Over temperature alarm and regional measurement.

When the highest temperature in the selected zone exceeds the alarm threshold, the system will sound an alarm, and the video screen will flash a red alarm. You can customize the alarm threshold value in the settings.

4.2.2 Regional Temperature Measurement

Click on the [Area Temperature Measurement] icon to add points, lines, and rectangular boxes for temperature measurement. Lines and rectangular boxes will display real-time highest and lowest temperatures of the area. Long-pressing a newly added area will bring up a delete icon.

4.2.3 Temperature Tracking

Figure 4.3: Automatic tracking of high and low temperatures.

The instrument supports automatic tracking of high and low temperatures, displaying the maximum and minimum temperature points on the screen.

4.2.4 Multiple Image Display Modes and Color Palettes

Figure 4.4: Available display modes and color palettes.

The app offers six display modes including Single Infrared, Visible Light, Edge Fusion Mode 1, Edge Fusion Mode 2, Overlay Fusion, and Picture in Picture. Additionally, you can choose from six false color palettes: Iron Red, White Heat, Black Heat, Rainbow, Red Heat, and Cold Blue.

4.2.5 Image Locking and Mirroring

Click the image lock and mirror buttons on the right to select lock, left and right, and up and down mirror images. After locking the screen, it will not rotate with the rotation of the phone.

4.2.6 Fusion Offset Adjustment

When observing close-range target objects, there may be deviations in visible and infrared lines in fusion mode. Click the fusion offset adjustment button on the right; four directional buttons will pop up, allowing you to adjust the fusion offset.

4.2.7 High Temperature Quick Check

In this mode, the high temperature area is displayed using the current color palette, while other areas are white hot. The temperature can be adjusted through the slider on the right side of the color palette bar. This mode is useful for quickly identifying high-temperature areas.
