Dang, this is cool. Now to somehow convince my work to buy me one...
I think the poster was confused. (s)he was referring to the spot temperature measure.
At 7.1.1 of the manual, (1) it has a surface temperature measurement represents the temperature of "the spot". (3) is the Cross hairs for spot targeting.
The 30:1 is related to how big that "spot" is (Clearly stated it is the "Distance to Spot ratio"). At 6 feet, it is measure a spot temperature of 2" or so.
As for field of view, it is top view of 50 degree and side view of 38.6 degree. So anything within 50 degree up/down and 38.6 degree left/right will be captured.
So using math with 50 degree up/down, you can calculate what's the height it capture at 6 feet distance away.
The Distance to Spot ratio for the imager is 30:1 meaning that the measurement
spot is 30 times smaller than the distance the meter is from the spot (at a distance
of 30", the meter 'sees' a target spot of 1"). See Fig. 7-2.
So at 6ft, you will see an area of 2"......
That can't be right. The device would be totally useless if that were true. That's closer to the level of zoom you'd see on a microscope than a usable handheld device.
