Easy digital thermometer
15 Mar 2004
Horiba Instrument's new infrared thermometer, the isquare, records and displays both a visual image and multiple temperatures simultaneously.
It displays a digital picture of whatever it's pointed at, overlays and records the temperature distribution of the object with 64 detailed readings.
The isquare is claimed to be as easy to handle as a digital camera. It combines the features of 64 conventional infrared thermometers in one device, allowing hot or cold spots to be detected. To use, the operator simply points the device and presses the 'save' button. It is portable too, so it can be used in almost any location.
Information can be transferred from the device's memory card to a PC. Real time information can be recorded on video, or displayed on a TV screen through a video output jack.
Applications include air conditioning equipment maintenance, thermal measurement of engine parts, temperature control of boilers, electrical equipment maintenance and temperature control of food products.
