1.5.2. Date and Time
Accurate date and time data is critical for correct camera operation. For example, by default files stored in the
camera are named with date and time information (see
§ 4.1 ). To set the date and time:
1. In the Main screen, press F1 to display the Main configuration menu.
2. Highlight Parameters and then press F2 to display the Parameters menu.
3. Select Adjustments and press F2 to display the Adjustments menu.
4. Select Date/Time and press F2 to display the Date/Time menu.
5. Use the left and right navigation buttons to select the parameters to modify.
6. To edit a selected setting, press F2 and use the up and down buttons to change the setting.
7. Press F2 to save the setting.
Note that the Date/Time menu opens automatically at start-up if power to the internal clock has been interrupted.
1.5.3. Units of Measure (Temperature and Distance)
1. Open the Adjustments menu by pressing F1 in the Main screen and selecting Parameters >
Adjustments.
2. Select to display the units in which temperature and distance are displayed:

Temperature: Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C). Default is Fahrenheit.

Distance: Foot (ft) or Meter (m). Default is Foot.
3. Select the desired units and press F2 to save the settings.
1.5.4. Trigger Function
The camera trigger can be configured to perform different tasks when pressed.
1. Open the Adjustments menu by pressing F1 in the Main screen and selecting Parameters >
Adjustments.
2. Select Trigger to display the Trigger menu. This lists the following options.

Aim (the default) configures the trigger to toggle the display from the infrared image to the visible
camera image. When this option is selected, the TA icon is displayed in the status bar at the top of the
screen. When an image is recalled, the trigger is automatically assigned this function. When you exit
the recalled image, the user-selected function is restored.

Freeze configures the trigger to stop the continuous updating of the display and “freeze” the
image. Both the infrared and visible images are frozen; you can toggle between them by pressing F3 .
When this option is selected, the TF icon is displayed in the status bar. Pressing the trigger again
restarts continuous acquisition.

Save configures the trigger to freeze the infrared and visible images, and then record them
on the micro SD card (if one is present). When this option is selected, the TS icon is displayed in the
status bar. Each press results in another save, creating derivative files if image acquisition is not
restarted between presses. To restart continuous acquisition, press F2 and then press F2
again.
