To start FevIR Cam software, double-click its desktop icon. The application will start
and assuming the FevIR Cam head is connected and turned on you will see visible and
thermal pictures appearing on the screen. The image appears with an operator
location label in the upper left corner of the screen. The location label can be
changed as required.
A temperature palette bar is located on the right hand side of the image and
determines monochrome, or, false colours used to display the image. The bar is a
typically graduated scale of either black (cold) through to white (hot), or a user
selectable colour palette available for selection on the setup menu All temperatures
measured by the system which are at or below the low point of the temperature
scale are shown in black, or the bottom scale colour, similarly all temperature at the
top or above the top scale value are shown in white, or the top scale colour.
However, all temperatures from the Alarm threshold temperature, which in this case
has been set to 37°C, to the hot upper temperatures are highlighted with a red
isotherm to signify that the temperature represented has reached or exceeded an
alarm condition.
Note the small yellow circle on the infrared image which is located directly onto the
Calibration Reference Source which is mounted on top of the tripod. This is used as
the system reference temperature and provides the necessary temperature
measurement accuracy for the system.
