Select Yes, All image! to clear all stored thermal images.

Select Reset to recover the factory setting data.

Select Use Median Value to reduce noise in an image. Select No Filter to display real image noise.

STORAGE & CLEANING

It should be stored at room temperature. The sensor lens is the most delicate part of the thermometer. The lens should be kept clean at all times, care should be taken when cleaning the lens using only a soft cloth or cotton swab with water or medical alcohol. Allowing the lens to fully dry before using the thermometer. Do not submerge any part of the thermometer.

BATTERIES

The thermometer incorporates visual low battery indication as follows:

Software Operating Instructions: OSXL-TIM3

STARTING UP

First you have to connect the application set to the power supply and the PC. Then start “TIM03ArraySW.exe”. The next step is to initialize the interface. Depending on your system you have to choose the pursuant COM Port. You have to

regard the following steps:

1.) Connect the USB jack. If you want to connect the device directly to the computer, you have to use USB cable.

2.) Power up the device by connecting the power jack.

3.) Select “ COM* ” in the Interface-Combo-Box.

4.) Click “ Start ” in the Interface-Button. If TIM 03 is present, the GUI will show data in the dialogue.

PROGRAM FEATURES

This is a short overview of all functions of the program:

As you can see in the screenshot some elements are information-giving others are for control. First we will discuss the information giving elements:

saves Temperature- values table to Excel(TIM_TempV_*****.xls)

saves Pixels to Excel(TIM_Temp_*****.bmp) Calibration-constants(w): shows Calibration-constants in GUI and saves data to Excel (TIM_CalC_*****.xls) The data stream can be saved in a binary or a text file. For analysis the text files are easier

to handle. First click “Save to…” and enter name, file type and destination where you want it to save. If you are using a text file, you can enter the starting-pixel and the amount of pixels stored after that. For example, entering 5 and 3 means the pixels 5, 6, 7 will be stored. This option does not exist for binary files. To begin data capturing click “Rec” in the Save to File-Box. The Button is highlighted red, as long as data capturing proceeds. You can stop recording by pressing “Stop” in the Save to File-Box. The red highlighting of the Rec-Button disappears.

If you want to play the stored stream with your program, press “Play”. A new window appears. Press “Open stream…” and open the desired file. Now enter the Frame rate, press enter and confirm with play. It is also possible to reduce the size of the file by setting the figure in the “Every Frame”-field to a different amount. When “Every Frame” is set to 6, for example, then only each sixth frame is recorded. This value is also used, when a recorded data stream is played.

“k” : read single temperature frame. “x” : stops stream without prompt.
