Save JPEG

Infrared images are saved in BMT (image with all
temperature data) format. BMT format images
can only be accessed with special software (see
Connectivity Section). The image can also be
saved in JPEG format (without temperature data)
at the same time. The image content corre-
sponds to the infrared image shown on the dis-
play, including scale display and image marks for
the selected measuring functions. The JPEG file
is saved under the same file name as the asso-
ciated BMT file and can be opened without spe-
cial software.
1. Open the Save JPEG function and press OK.
2. Move the joystick up/down until ON/OFF is
selected and press OK.
3. Add a date/time stamp to a JPEG file, if re-
quired. Turn function ON/OFF for this.
