Optimizing the IR Image
The quality of the IR image depends on many factors, such as target tem
-
perature, ambient temperature, distance to target, etc. The IR Camera
has a number of functions – automatic and manual – that are used to
control the image quality.
This chapter describes basic and advanced procedures for how to achieve
an image of high quality. Inexperienced users are recommended to follow
the instructions in section 12.1. Advanced users are recommended to fol-
low the instructions in section 12.2.
The optimizing functions are controlled via the IR Camera menu system
and via the Joystick Control Unit (JCU). Frequently used functions can
also be executed via the System Software menu system, as described in
section 11.3.
There are two different settings for the JCU – Original and Alternative
– with somewhat different functions for the joystick and the keypad but-
tons. The setting is made in the
Setup – Maintenance
dialog box, see sec-
tion 7.6.1.6. The functions for both the Original and the Alternative set-
tings are described in the tables below.

Basic procedures
The IR Camera has a number of functions that automatically optimize the
image quality. However, to achieve an even better image, there are some
basic manual actions and adjustments that have to be carried out.
This section provides the basic procedures for optimization of the image
quality. Instructions for advanced users are provided in section 12.2.
For detailed information about the optimizing functions, please refer to
section 5.2.
12.1.1 Starting point
The image optimizing procedure starts from a defined starting point.
When the system is started, it is normally automatically set to the starting
point. When the camera has been running for some time and various ad
