2. Connect the Imager: Carefully plug the Type-C connector of the TOOLTOP T7 into the Type-C port of your mobile device. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Launch the App: Open the installed thermal imaging application. The app should automatically detect the connected imager and display the thermal feed.
4. Grant Permissions: If prompted, grant necessary permissions (e.g., camera, storage) to the application for full functionality.

5. Operation

5.1 Basic Thermal Viewing

Once connected and the app is running, the live thermal feed will be displayed on your mobile device's screen. Point the imager towards the area of interest to observe temperature variations.

5.2 Color Palettes

The TOOLTOP T7 offers multiple color palettes to visualize temperature differences. Different palettes can highlight specific temperature ranges or patterns more effectively. Common palettes include Iron, White Hot, Rainbow, Cold Blue, Black Hot, and Red Hot.

Figure 5.1: Color Palette Options. This image illustrates six distinct color palettes (Iron, White Hot, Rainbow, Cold Blue, Black Hot, Red Hot) applied to thermal images of mugs, demonstrating how different color schemes can represent temperature variations to suit various testing needs.

5.3 Temperature Measurement Modes

The application provides advanced measurement tools for precise temperature analysis:

• Point Measurement: Manually select specific points on the thermal image to display their exact temperature.
• Line Segment Measurement: Draw a line across an area to measure temperature distribution along that line.
• Area Measurement: Define a rectangular or custom area to display the average, maximum, and minimum temperatures within that region.

Figure 5.2: Area Temperature Measurement. This image demonstrates the advanced temperature measurement capabilities of the TOOLTOP T7, showing how points, lines, and rectangular boxes can be added to a thermal image (e.g., of a laptop keyboard) to accurately measure temperatures in different areas, including manual selection of measurement points and regions.

5.4 Photo and Video Recording

Use the dedicated buttons within the application interface to capture still thermal images or record thermal videos. These files are typically saved to your mobile device's gallery or a specific folder within the app.

6. Applications

The TOOLTOP T7 Thermal Imager is versatile and can be used in various scenarios:

• Electrical Inspections: Identify overheating components, loose connections, or circuit overloads in electrical panels and systems.
• HVAC Diagnostics: Detect air leaks, insulation deficiencies, and blockages in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
• Building Inspections: Locate moisture intrusion, missing insulation, and structural issues.
• Solar Panel Analysis: Pinpoint defective cells or hot spots in solar arrays that indicate performance issues.
• Night Vision: Observe heat signatures in low-light or complete darkness for security or outdoor applications.
