the
Emissivity
and the
Transmissivity
(IR-
window compensation)
can be set.
The transmissivity is referring to the loss of radiation if an object’s surface is measured by looking through a
suitable window.
Knowing the
Ambient temperature
is inevitable for a correct temperature measurement. The ambient
temperature value is delivered by the camera’s internal sensor by default. Alternatively, the value can be set
as a fixed value.

Alternatively, the emissivity can also be changed via the status bar in the TIM Connect software window. To
do this, make a right-click on emissivity.
i
In case that the emissivity and / or the ambient temperature values are controlled through the Process
Interface (PIF) the here defined values will be ignored, see Chap.
4.5
. The display of actual values will
be shown in the status bar.
