Subject: FLIR - Fixed some problems 
[Pamella]
  • 08:59 am: Turned on the electronic device (current on) for started taking data.
  • 09:37 am: Tried understanding the error in the focal point. I realized the pillars was in the wrong place and because of that we got problems to keep the reflector in the correct position to FLIR focus.
  • 09:58 am: Started checking the temperature and the parameters.Changed the pillars to the original position (0.5645m) just for checking with the problem was the pillar in the wrong place.
  • 10:06 am: Changed the reflector to point (0.3282m) and now in the correct position for the pillars. Started take snap and collecting data. I moved up and down the reflector for got data to compare later.
  • 10:37 am: Used the closest point possible for the reflector in front of the FLIR camera with the correct spot for the pillars.(0.2032m)
  • 11:00 am: Started taking snap after kept the current on for a few hours. Parameters: Current: 0.10A , Volt: 1.3V and Temperature: 41.9 C.
  • I attached below the snap in the most close point possible, now i can see a better photo and I think a fixed the problem about the focal point in the reflector for have more uniformity between the triangles, isn't perfect yet but now is just some adjustments. Furthermore after that I should be change the reflector position and also the optical focus distance in the FLIR camera and try use the black wall.
