Microbolometer Calibration

Calibration eliminates image flaws (such as vertical bars, phantom images, grainy field of view, etc.) by equalizing the microbolometer background temperature.

During calibration, the image on the display briefly freezes for up to 1 second.

There are three calibration modes: Manual (M), Semi-Automatic (SA) and Automatic (A).

Select the required mode in the Calibration Mode menu item.

M mode (Manual).

• Close the lens cover.
• Press the ON/OFF (5) button briefly.
• Open the lens cover after the calibration is completed.

SA mode (Semi-Automatic).

• Press the ON/OFF (5) button briefly to activate calibration.
• There is no need to close the lens cover because an internal shutter covers the microbolometer automatically.

A mode (Automatic).

• The device is calibrated autonomously according to firmware algorithms.
• There is no need to close the lens cover because an internal shutter covers the microbolometer automatically.
• In this mode, the user can still choose to calibrate the device using the ON/OFF (5) button if required (as in the SA mode).
• In Automatic calibration mode a countdown timer will appear instead of the calibration mode icon 3 seconds before automatic calibration begins.
