14.8 Changing maximum and minimum scale values
General You can change the maximum and minimum scale values on the temperature scale.
Typical examples
A typical application when you want to change the maximum scale value:
You are inspecting an object that is located in front of a background that has a a
considerably
higher temperature—e.g. an object in a very hot furnace. In this case
you want to use as many colors as possible for your object and as few as possible
for the background. To do this, specify a temperature slightly
above the temperature
you can expect for your object.
A typical application when you want to change the minimum scale value:
You are inspecting an object that is located in front of a background that has a con-
siderably
lower temperature—e.g. power lines in front of a clear sky. In this case you
want to use as many colors as possible for your object and as few as possible for
the background. To do this, specify a temperature slightly
below the temperature
you can expect for your object.
