Abstract

Hand-held instrument for measuring the temperature of a target without contact with the target. The instrument utilizes a microprocessor and a digital display to calculate and indicate different temperature functions. Compensation is included for the effects of emissivity and ambient temperature changes which otherwise could result in inaccurate readings. Temperature trend direction liquid crystal arrow(s) actuated by the microprocessor are included in the display.
