Introduction
We hope that you enjoy using your photographic
infrared thermometer!
It measures the amount of infrared energy emitted by a target object, and calculates the
temperature of that object´s surface. In addition,
it takes a photo of the measured spot highlighted by a bright laser circle. In a few easy steps
you can create reports that incorporate the
photo of the target and also the temperature,
location, date/time, and a description - all this
can be customized by using the software
delivered with the unit.
Your unit includes:
-A digital camera synchronized with the
temperature measurement
-True Spot laser Sighting
- Nameable locations
- Adjustable emissivity
- High/Low alarm

This chapter is dedicated
to the advanced user and
based on the
“Basic Mode” part of this
manual.
We recommend to going
through this part step by
step to get the most benefit
out of the unit.
For additional information
contact the manufacturer or
refer to its website.
(See back page of the cover
of the printed manual.)
In the “Basic Mode” chapter you have seen how
easy it is to use this unit and to store photos
and data.
A special file has been created automatically by
the unit, based on the factory defaults. This file
is called “Logger” and has the extension “lgg”.
Under special circumstances it may happen,
that the factory default settings don’t match your
needs. In that case, it is possible to customize
the factory default logger file.
You may wish, for instance, to name the locations where you want to measure or to add different emissivity values or special materials.
Additionally it may necessary to add more than
just temperature, location, date and time information to the photos.
All this is possible and explained in the next
few pages

How to create a logger file?
Note! The following operation will
change the current settings in the
unit!
Configure an inspection table using the menu
SETUP/DEVICE LOGGER. The following screen
display will appear.
Continue by setting the desired number of the
inspection points to be measured in the table at
the lower right. In our example it is 5. Choose
the desired image resolution. “High” means a
resolution of 640x480 pixels, “Low” is
320x240 pixels.
Please note! In both modes you could configuere up tp 100 positions. If you have chosen
“High” the maximum number of photos is 26.
In the “Low” resolution mode, you can take
more than 100 photos. The camera memorycan store up to 106 photos. This could be helpful, if you want to repeat a photo at a previous
position.
Next, enter the name of the location and insert
the related material from the material table by
clicking here. For a known emissivity enter the
value in the column EMS. In the column “Image”
you could enable or disable taking a photo by
checking the appropriate box
The material names are stored in a material
table file. This can be customized. See chapter
“How to create a material table?”
Save this logger file with a new name by
clicking on the “Save as” button. With a click on
“OK” transfer the table to the unit.
Now go to the Logger view by clicking here and

Examples
Disconnect the unit from the PC and begin your
inspection.
Once the inspection has been done, transfer
data and photos to the PC. Connect the unit via
USB to the computer, while the software is running. The data transfer begins automatically
when the message “Connected” appears.
Now you can set up which data fields should be
inserted in the photos after you have taken
them. All columns you choose here will be included in the final photo.You can’t delete any information from the photo itself. To open the sub-
menu simply right click into the table
With the following dialog choose and order the
columns.
Note! The more data you insert in the photo the
more these data will hide the picture. Especially
if your working in the low resolution mode, we
recommend to choose only a few columns.
See the examples!
Many columns

Fewer columns
chosen
Ta ke your photos and data as described above
and save them by pressing disc buttoninto the
same file as before.
The number of inspections is shown in the bot-
tom line of the window
To see changes of the temperature over time,
you can create a routing graph.
This feature is very useful to monitor measurement points over time and identify problematic
trends.
For instance, in electrical panels, it is difficult to
find out that something is outside the normal
temperature range, especially if the panel has
live voltage. If you monitor the panel over time,
you find out, where the problems are, before
they become dangerous.
Go to
and then open the logger file you have just
created.

menu.Mark when the snapshot should be taken
- at high alarm or low alarm.
The “min. interval(s)” setting means that the unit
only checks after this interval for the alarm values exceeded.
A photo will only be taken if an alarm is newly
exceeded.
The snapshots will be taken in the measurement and recording mode.
But you can only save the data for later documentation in the recording mode.
The “Max. number of images” is limited only by
hard disk space. The file size of a low resolution
photo is approxomate 30 kB and for high resolution 60 kB.
The live video window appears in both modes.
