The first 3D thermal imaging software plus an in-depth training package FREE with all new Fluke Thermal Imagers

The two and a half hour training package on DVD, valued at £250, includes step-by-step instructions covering both the theory and practice of thermal imaging. It is designed to help new owners get the most from their thermal imagers, as well as to refresh experienced users of the technology and to serve as a valuable, ongoing training tool. Sections include ‘Introduction to Thermography’, ‘Benefits of Thermal Imaging’, ‘Thermography Fundamentals’, and an Emissivity Table and FOV Calculator. Instructions are also included for setting up and operating the Fluke Ti10, Ti25, TiR and TiR1 Thermal Imagers.

The new, enhanced Fluke SmartView 2.0 software is a modular suite of tools for viewing, annotating, editing and analysing infrared images and creating illustrated, customised reports. Users can download images captured with any Fluke thermal imager equipped with IR Fusion®, the patent pending process whereby visible light images can be merged with infrared images, making identification and diagnosis of problems simpler. Once downloaded, users can analyse, optimise and organise those images, add notes and comments and create professional-quality reports in a few steps.

Among the key new features in SmartView 2.0 are:
• Thermal imaging in three dimensions, an industry first, Fluke 3D-IR™ (patent pending) can make hot spots appear to pop out of the background, so users can easily identify additional problem areas, examine the image from different perspectives, and eliminate false positives. In addition, users can draw a line across an image and automatically create a graph showing temperatures along that line.
• An updated user interface makes the software easier to use. Frequently used tools are easier to access and image-optimisation tools are enhanced. Users can now view the Fluke IR-Fusion visible light reference image side-by-side with the infrared image.
• New and enhanced reporting capabilities enable users to output reports directly in Microsoft Word or PDF formats. They can now use familiar MS Word tools to modify and add details to the report or check spelling. And users can now customise or create and save report templates to meet their specific job requirements.

Users who already own Fluke thermal imagers can upgrade to Fluke SmartView 2.0 from the Fluke website. Regular upgrades are provided free of charge for the life of the product. Customers who have recently purchased a Fluke thermal imager can also obtain a copy of the training DVD free of charge.
