Note:Forbestresults,allowawarm‐upperiodof3‐5minutesbeforeusingthisfeature.

TheLock/UnlockPaletteAuto‐Scaleoptionallowsthecolorpaletterangetobeadjustedto
suitagivenapplication.Forexample,whenviewingbothcoldandhotobjectsinthesame
frame,thepaletteauto‐scalingwillcausethepalettetobe‘stretched’tofitthewholerange 
oftemperatures.However,thiscancausesmallertemperaturevariationstodisappear,asthe
differencebetweentwocolorsmightincreasefrom1°to10°.Inthiscase,theusermay
choosetolockthescalewithonlythecoldormedium‐temperatureobjectintheframe.This
wouldcausethehotobjecttosaturate,butwillprovidemoredetailtothecolderobjectsof
interest.

bestpossiblecontrastfortheapplication.
