  • Page 6: Welcome

    1. Welcome! Thank you for choosing the optris PI thermal imager! The optris PI calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [► Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes.
