Calibration
The process of adjusting an instrument to read accurately. or in some cases, accurately constructing a
table of errors so that the instrument reading can be adjusted off-line or post measurement to correlate the
reading accurately to the true value.
Calorie
The amount of thermal energy required to raise one gram of water one degree-Celsius at 15 degrees C.
Celsius (Centigrade)
A scale for measuring temperature where absolute cold is -273.2 degrees C, the melting point of water (ice
point) is 0 degrees C, and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees C.
Chopper
A means of optically blocking and unblocking the detector sensor repetitively. A chopper normally consists
of a round, flat, pancake-like blade rotated by a motor. The blade is cut so that a regular pattern of
openings and blockages pass in front of the detector.
Collimated Color Scale
Traveling together in parallel, as in parallel light rays. An area of the display screen set aside to display the
full range of available colors. Used to demonstrate how each color is assigned a temperature or radiation
level.
Color Thermograph
A display of temperature differences which has been enhanced by the assignment of discrete color values
to each of the thermal intensity levels. This is considered the normal visual display mode for a thermal
video system.
Conduction
The transfer of energy through a solid without motion of the conducting solid as a whole.
Conduction Band
The energy band above the energy gap in a semiconductor. Electrons with enough energy to reach the
conduction band can freely move within the semiconductor in response to externally applied potential
gradients.
