Vernier Thermal Analysis Plus for FLIR ONE offers all the great features of Vernier Thermal Analysis, and adds time-lapse thermal photography! Mark up to four locations or regions on a thermal image. In a selected region, you can determine minimum, maximum or average temperature. Graph temperature data live during an experiment, then export to our Graphical Analysis app for further analysis. Thermal image videos can also be exported to the Photos app. Videos can be captured in real-time or time-lapse. Non-contact temperature data collection with video can be used to observe temperature changes on the skin, illustrate convection, show heating due to friction, and more. Compare heat conduction in different materials or compare the transparency of materials in infrared vs. visible light. What will you explore? With the new time-lapse recording feature, record temperature changes over longer timespans and play it back at 2x, 4x or as fast as 2000x! - Requires FLIR ONE accessory for iPhone. - Compatible with FLIR ONE PRO, FLIR ONE (2nd generation), and FLIR ONE (3rd generation).
