Abstract:
1. An instrument with non-contact temperature measurement capability, comprising: an output display contained in a housing, for displaying measurements to a user; an anemometer having outputs relating to measured air velocity parameters, including at least air velocity and ambient temperature; a non-contact, optically-based temperature sensing device coupled to the housing, having an output related to sensed temperature and defining a sense axis that is adjustable relative to the housing, in which the non-contact temperature sensing device is mounted in a mount that is rotatably coupled to and movable relative to the housing, to allow the user to aim the non-contact temperature sensing device; and circuitry contained in the housing for processing both the anemometer outputs and the temperature sensing device output, and transmitting the processed output to the output display.
