8.6.2 Camera setup when using the Protective Window (P/N 1 194 977)
The protective window (P/N 1 194 977) contains an optical material that affects the
transmission of infrared radiation to the FPA detector inside the camera. This means
that you have to specify a temperature and a transmission value for external optics
in the camera software for P and S series cameras.
Follow this procedure to enter the temperature and transmission value for external
optics:
Action Step
Point to Analysis on the menu bar and press the joystick. 1
Point to Object param and press the joystick. 2
Set External optics to On . 3
Enter a transmission value of 0.83 in the Optics transmission text box by moving
the joystick left/right. This value has been measured at FLIR Systems AB, Sweden.

Enter an external temperature for the lens in the Optics temperature text box by
moving the joystick left/right. Usually, this temperature is the same temperature
as the camera’s ambient temperature. However, in some situations – such as when
looking at very hot targets – the temperature can be considerably higher.
