2.1. The FLIR identiFINDER R300 Display
FLIR Detection
The time is supplied by the clock built into the FLIR identiFINDER R300. It uses UTC
(a.k.a. “Greenwich Time”) for internal purposes and for time-stamping records saved
in the database, for example, spectra or identi ication results.
For correct values you have to ensure the correct setting of the clock and the correct
speci ication of your local time zone (see
6.10
, p.
125
).
The correct time and date can be set using the GPS receiver built into the FLIR
identiFINDER R300. If it is switched on (see
6.11
, p.
127
), it adjusts the clock to the
high-precision UTC time received from the GPS satellites. All you have to specify is your
local time zone (see
6.10
, p.
125
).
If the internal clock is completely off, for example after storing the instrument with
empty batteries for a couple of weeks, you have to adjust the internal clock and
specify the time zone (see
6.10
, p.
125
).
A one-minute countdown is shown instead of the current clock to announce the
beginning of scheduled automated identi ication measurement (see
4.4
, p.
93
).
A satellite symbolizes the state of the GPS receiver.
GPS receiver is switched off (factory setting,
6.11
, p.
127
).
GPS receiver is switched on (
6.11
, p.
127
) but the GPS reception is not good enough to
determine the current position. Invalid coordinates, marked as such, are saved.
GPS receiver is switched on (
6.11
, p.
127
) and the GPS reception is suf icient to deter-
mine the current position which is saved with measurement data and identi ication re-
sults.
A light bulb symbolizes the current energy saving options.
The FLIR identiFINDER R300 will not try to save energy because the current opera-
tion requires an active display, for example, during an identi ication measurement (
4.3
,
p.
90
).
The backlight of the screen will be dimmed after the timeout you speci ied (
6.9
, p.
122
).
The backlight of the screen will be dimmed after the timeout you speci ied (
6.9
, p.
122
)
and the application software will power down half a minute later.
This mode is not used while the FLIR identiFINDER R300 is powered by an external
power source.
You can wake up a sleeping system by pressing a key.
CENTER: Variable Main Display
The contents of this area vary with the current operation of the FLIR identiFINDER R300.
It shows, for example, status information after power up (Figure
55
, p.
63
), menus to choose
commands from (Figure
13
, p.
35
), the strength of the observed gamma radiation (Figure
87
,
p.
86
), or corresponding alarms (Figure
101
, p.
99
).
