Set Emissivity Value
Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most organic
materials and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of approximately 0.95,
which is the default setting for the Product. Battery posts or terminals may require a
different emissivity setting. See Table 4-2 if a different emissivity is needed.
