This course will discuss essential operating functions and techniques for a variety of camera models. We will demonstrate the user interface for the FLIR One, C-Series, E-Series, and T-Series model infrared cameras and how to navigate the various menu systems. Common settings for localization and save options will be shown, as well as advanced features such as presets, annotations, measurement tool customization, and in-camera image editing functions. We will also discuss connectivity options such as USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI. In addition to camera operation, we will discuss some best practices with respect to image capture and interpretation. Focus, range, and spot size are critical concepts that must be understood before capturing thermal images. We will explain why these are important and how to ensure that you are capturing good data. We will also discuss thermal tuning and how to optimize contrast so images can be adequately interpreted. Poor thermal tuning could result in a problem that is overlooked due to poor contrast.
