nition 14-bit thermal images with digital visual images.
It is battery operated, comes standard with extensive onboard image processing software, and has the ability to store images and data to a standard compact ash memory
card. Images can also be viewed in real-time via the video output or through a built-in
IEEE 1394 (Firewire®) interface. Completely self-contained in a dust proof and splash
proof case, the MikroScan 7600 PRO not only meets IP54 specications, but it also
offers a shock rating of 30G (IEC60068-2-27) and a vibration rating of 3G
(IEC60068-2-6), making it the perfect imager for the even the most extreme of environ-
ments.
2.1 System Overview
The MikroScan 7600PRO is a non-contact, high sensitivity infrared radiometer. It measures the infrared radiation emitted by the target surface and converts this radiation into
a two-dimensional image related to the temperature distribution at the target surface.
Through the use of standard on-board diagnostic software, the image can be used to
provide a picture of temperature variations over the area included in the eld of view, in
either temperature related colors or in black and white. Point temperatures can also be
derived from the image.

When LVT is active, the cross cursor
traces a point temperature signal and
always controls for the temperature signal
level to be at the center level of the color
bar. When the cross cursor is not used, the
temperature signal at the center (X=160,
Y=120) of the thermal image is traced.
While level trace is active the LVT is
displayed in the upper-right corner of the
screen.
When AGC is active, it traces the temperature signal of the entire thermal image and
always controls the display sensitivity and
temperature level to be at their optimal
values. By combining use of this mode
and the LEVEL/SENS gain mode of the
range mode, the temperature signal can be
traced beyond the range. When the auto
gain control is active, AGC is displayed in

3.9.4 Establishing the Display Setup Values
3.9.4.1 Setting the NUC (Non Uniformity Correction) Mode
The Non Uniformity Correction (NUC) function corrects uneven
characteristics of the UFPA (Infrared detector elements). The focal
plane array is made up of 76800 infrared sensitive cells called
pixels. When scenes containing bright objects or areas are focused
on the array, some pixels may be partially or completely saturated,
rendering them noisy or unresponsive.
The main unit internally has a reference blackbody source, which
has an even temperature surface. The NUC operation corrects the
unevenness of characteristics for all elements of the UFPA by a
reference blackbody source while an internal accurate thermometer
monitors the temperature of the reference blackbody source and
calibrates the unit during the NUC operation. This operation is
referred to in thermal imaging as “NUCing” the array.
The NUC option offers two mode choices:
Mode Details
[MANUAL]
(DEFAULT)

The non uniformity correction (detector
stabilization) will be performed when the
camera switches from FREEZE mode to

operating in the RUN mode.

3.9.4.2 Setting the L&S (Level & Sensitivity OR Level & Span) Mode
The 7600PRO provides two options for making adjustments to the
temperature scale of a thermal image.
The rst option is to make adjustments to the level of sensitiv-
ity. The level of sensitivity determines the instrument’s ability to
resolve adjacent areas of different temperatures within the overall
scene. Since only a small portion of the whole temperature range
is used for viewing, it is often necessary to increase or decrease the
intervals of the temperature scale by adjusting the Sensitivity Level.

The second option is to adjust the temperature span which sets the
upper limit temperature value on the color bar. Ideally, the span
should embrace most of the temperatures of interest and be equally
displaced about some median temperature in the target area.
The L&S option offers two mode choices:

3.9.4.8 Setting the TV System (Video Output Mode)

NOTE:
See Working with External
Video Displays found in
Section 7.2 of this manual
for more information on
setting up the TV Scanning Mode feature for this
camera.
The MikroScan 7600PRO provides a NTSC/PAL composite video
port which is used for providing an interface for external video
displays.
Mode Details
[NTSC] (DEFAULT)
Used to select the 60-Hz American Standard
(NTSC) video output option.
[PAL]
Used to select the 50-Hz European Standard
(PAL) video output option. (Note: When the
instrument has been set to the PAL video
output mode, the LCD or visual image display, save, and replay are not available).
3.9.4.9 Setting the TV Scanning Mode
When images or image frames are displayed on a monitor, they are
displayed as rows of pixels with each row being “painted” on the
screen from left to right. Once the rst row of pixels has been
scanned the process continues until the entire ‘scene’ has been
scanned and displayed. Because the 7600PRO offers a resolution of
640 x 480, this means that each image or image frame would
include 480 individual rows of pixels.
The 7600PRO offers two scanning modes. The rst is the default
non-interlace mode. With the non-interlace mode of scanning, the
whole frame is painted at one time with each line being scanned in
succession (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5, etc.) from top to bottom.
The second mode is the interlace mode. With the interlace mode of
scanning, each frame is split in two with the rst pass scanning all
the odd number rows, and the second pass scanning all the even
number rows. Basically, this results in the display being refreshed
from top to bottom twice as frequently as in the non-interlaced case
