Technote #18 IRt/c can measure obliquely

Often, an area needs to be temperature monitored,

but because of space limitations, the IRt/c cannot

be placed to view the target area squarely. In such

situations the IRt/c can be angled obliquely to view

the target area. The field-of-view then becomes

elliptical instead of circular, and the IRt/c averages

the temperature it sees.

To apply this method, be sure to estimate the size of

the field-of-view footprint, and confirm that the IRt/c
