Basic Operation and Configuration
Toggle Polarity
This button changes the polarity of the assigned colors to the different temperatures in a
scene. In the black and white palette for example, hot objects are displayed as white and
cold objects as black, or vice versa.
Toggle Palette
This button causes the camera to cycle through six different look up table (LUT) color
palettes. Depending on the subjects viewed, one color palette may be preferable to the
others. The Toggle Polarity button allows access to six more palettes (refer to
Misc. (Lookup
Table), pg. 3-3
).
Perform IR NUC Calibration
This button causes the camera to perform a Non-Uniformity Correction operation (refer to
Image freezes momentarily, pg. 2-18
).
Toggle Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
This button causes the camera to cycle through 5 different AGC options that use a
combination of settings to produce different configurations that could improve the video
image for a given set of conditions.
Toggle Scene Preset
This button causes the camera to cycle through 5 different image settings. The Scene
Presets cause the image brightness and contrast to adjust. Depending on the time of day,
weather, and other conditions, one Scene Preset may be preferable to the others.
Function
The FC-Series cameras have additional features or functions which can be accessed using
an extra numeric function keypad. It is possible to create customized camera functions
through a “macro” interface which can be programmed through XML commands. Contact
FLIR Technical Support for information about the Nexus XML-Based Control Interfaces.
When the Function button is selected, the keypad changes to a numeric
keypad providing programmed functions (1 - 9). Select the back arrow to
return to the main keypad. Some specific cameras can have additional
functions (10 - 18). The forward arrow will access these.
Refer to the following table for definitions of the nine functions available to
FC-Series cameras. The video enhancing options in some cases may
improve the video image, at least temporarily. Over time or as the
environment changes, the scene could change and the resulting image
may no longer be optimal.

Description
1
Enable EE
Edge enhancement (EE) is an image processing technique that enhances details by
emphasizing lines and edges. It may be possible to see fine details more easily in some
scenes, but it could also make the image somewhat more grainy or pixilated.

Disable EE
