8. Lowest Temperature Cursor: Marks the coldest point in the image.
9. Central Temperature: Numerical value of the central point temperature.

3.3. Whakaahuatanga Papatae Tae

The device offers several color palettes to visualize temperature differences:

• Aniwaniwa: A common palette showing a full spectrum of colors for temperature variations.
• Iron Oxide Red: Highlights hotter areas in red/yellow tones.
• Rock Red: Similar to Iron Oxide Red, with slightly different color mapping.
• White Heat: Displays hotter areas as white and colder areas as black.
• Black Heat: Displays hotter areas as black and colder areas as white.
• Cold Color: Emphasizes colder temperatures.

The radiation coefficient (emissivity) can be adjusted to increase the measurement accuracy of objects with half-reflection surfaces. The highest and lowest temperature cursors guide users to areas with the highest and lowest temperatures in the thermal images. Selectable color palettes are provided to meet various imaging needs.
