Frequently Asked Questions
What is Super Resolution / Super IR technology?
Super Resolution (or Super IR) is UNI-T's image enhancement technology that uses algorithmic processing to increase the effective resolution of thermal images beyond the native IR detector resolution. For example, a 256×192 native detector can produce enhanced 512×384 images. This provides more detail for identifying small thermal anomalies without increasing hardware cost.
Can I generate reports from the UTi260B?
Yes. UNI-T provides free PC analysis software for generating professional thermal inspection reports. Images can be transferred via USB, Wi-Fi (on supported models), or SD card. The software supports temperature analysis, annotation, and PDF report generation.
