Signal processing function of infrared thermometer
In view of the difference between discrete processes (such as part production) and continuous processes, infrared thermometers are required to have multiple signal processing functions (such as peak hold, valley hold, average) to choose from, such as when measuring bottles on a conveyor belt, To use peak hold, its temperature output signal is sent to the controller. Otherwise the thermometer reads the lower temperature value between the bottles. If using peak hold, set the thermometer to respond slightly longer than the time interval between bottles so that at least one bottle is always being measured.
