Configure Temperature Screening Parameters

Besides drawing temperature screening regions, you can also set parameters related to screening, alarm, and display on the Temperature Screening Region Settings window.

Note:

For the configurations to take effect, you can either click OK on the bottom right corner of the window or click Apply Param on the bottom left. Clicking OK will close the configuration window, whereas clicking Apply Param will not and you can continue with the configurations.

Screening

Under Screening, you can configure parameters related to the palette mode, camera basics, global screening, and expert mode.

Palette Mode

Select a palette mode for the camera from White Hot, Black Hot, etc.

Camera Parameter
Brightness

Adjust the brightness level of the live view image correspondingly. The larger the value, the brighter the image.

Gamma Enable

When enabled, you can set the gamma value correspondingly. The larger the value, the stronger the contrast.

Sharpness Enable

When enabled, you can set the sharpness level for the edges of the live view image.

Noise Reduction Enable

When enabled, the signal-to-noise ratio of the image will be boosted, so as to improve the quality of the image.

Global Screening

Set the global temperature screening parameters for the temperature screening regions.

Atmospheric Transmissivity

If a germanium glass needs to be added in front of the lens of the infrared camera, the transmittance of the germanium glass can be set by this parameter.

Note:

If no germanium glass is needed, you can keep this parameter as 100.

Temp Measurement Range

Select a temperature measurement range as needed from -20℃ ~ 150℃ and 0℃ ~ 550℃.

Target Distance

Set the linear distance from the target object to be measured to the device (unit: m).

Full Screen Emissivity

Set the emissivity of the target object. The emissivity value varies for different objects. Refer to the user manual of the corresponding camera model for details.

Temp Measurement Expert Mode

When enabled, you can set the corresponding parameters for each temperature screening region respectively.

Expert Mode
Temp Region Reflect Enable

Set whether to enable reflection for the temperature screening region when there is a high-temperature object at the scene, and a measured object with low emissivity reflects the high-temperature object.

Temp Region Reflectance

Set the reflectance value of the temperature screening region, which needs to be consistent with the temperature value of the high-temperature object.

Temp Region Target Distance (m)

Set the linear distance from the target object to be measured to the device (unit: m).

Temp Region Emissivity

Set the emissivity value of the target object (unit: %). The emissivity value varies for different objects. Refer to the user manual of the corresponding camera model for details.

Alarm

Under Alarm, you can configure parameters related to the temperature triggered alarms for a single region or of comparing two regions.

Single Region Alarm

Set the alarm rule for a single temperature screening region you have drawn.

Point

For point ROIs, you can set the following parameters for conditions to trigger or restore alarms.

Point Temp

Select > or < from the drop-down list, and enter a temperature value correspondingly to set the alarm rule.

E.g., If you select > and enter 50 in the box, an alarm will be triggered when the screened temperature exceeds 50°C.

Tolerance Temp

Set the threshold for restoring alarms of the region.

E.g., If the tolerance temperature is set to 5°C while the rule for triggering alarms is set to > 50°C, alarms will be canceled when the screened temperature is less than or equal to 45°C.

Polygon/Line/Circle

For polygon, line, and circle ROIs, you can select a specific type of temperature statistics (Maximum, Minimum, Average, and Variation) and set the corresponding alarm triggering and restoring rules. The configuration process is similar to those of setting Point Temp and Tolerance Temp for point ROIs.

E.g., If you select Maximum, >, and enter 50 in the box, an alarm will be triggered when the maximum temperature value of the region exceeds 50°C.

Multi-Region Alarm

Set up to four multi-region alarm rules which compare the chosen type of statistics of two temperature screening regions. Follow the steps below to configure a rule.

  1. Select a region from the drop-down list for Region Index 1, which will be set as the reference region (i.e., the region being compared to).

  2. Select another region from the drop-down list for Region Index 2, which will be set as the target region.

  3. Choose a specific type of temperature statistics to be compared between the regions from Maximum, Minimum, Average, and Variation.

  4. Select > or < from the second drop-down list, and enter a temperature value correspondingly to set the alarm rule.

E.g., If you select Maximum, >, and enter 10 in the box, an alarm will be triggered when the maximum temperature value of the target region is 10°C greater than that of the reference region.

Display

Under Display, you can configure parameters related to the display settings of the live view window and the temperature window.

Basic Display
Temperature Bar

When enabled, a temperature bar will be displayed on the right side of the live view window.

Figure 1 Temperature Bar
Region Information Overlay

Select a overlay mode for the region information from the followings.

  • None: Disable region information overlay. No information is displayed when the camera acquires images or when the images are saved.

  • Camera: Overlay information of the temperature screening regions to the camera, so that the information will be displayed when the camera acquires images and when the images are saved.

  • Client: Overlay information of the temperature screening regions to the Client, so that the information will be displayed when the camera acquires images, but not when the images are saved.

Temperature Window

You can set up to 4 displays of temperature values and 1 display of the temperature curve to be displayed on the Temperature Window. For each display, you can select a temperature screening region and a type of statistics as shown below.

Figure 2 Temperature Window Settings

Refer to Temperature Window for how the display outcome looks like.
