real-time PID control algorithms, ensuring stable and accurate
temperature regulation. They also feature:
Perfect for a traceable Testing of High-Resolution Thermal Cameras
High-resolution thermal cameras and long-range thermal imagers are widely used in industries such as security, defense, thermal imager manufacturing and maintenance applications. These cameras rely heavily on accurate temperature readings to deliver precise infrared radiation.
The DCN1000 are delivered with an individual radiometric certificate of calibration over MWIR and LWIR traceable to International Primary Standards, ensuring reliable performances to the thermal imagers tested. Exclusive compensation is applied to the blackbody temperature for a better ease of use (Displayed temperature = Radiated Temperature).
The DCN1000 series plays a critical role in ensuring that these cameras perform at their optimal level. The DCN1000 enables comprehensive testing for non-uniformity correction, bad pixel location, NETD measurement and temperature calibration.
Thanks to its extended emissive area (up to 300 mm x 300 mm), the DCN1000 series ensures uniform thermal radiation across a larger area, providing reliable and accurate calibration for high-performance thermal cameras. Whether you are conducting laboratory-based testing or field calibration on-site, the DCN1000 delivers the stability and precision necessary for professional-grade calibration work.
