Procedures for Checking Critical Instrument Performauce Parameters<br />

There are established procedures for checking the critical performance<br />

parameters di scussed in Chapter 3. The parameters that are most important<br />

to most measurement programs are:<br />

1. Thermal resolution or minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD).<br />

2. Imaging spatial resolution or instantaneous field of view (lFOV). and<br />

3. Measurement spat ialresolution (IFOVmeas).<br />

Comments on item 1<br />

■ Thermal resolution or<br />

■ minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD) or<br />

■ noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD).<br />

the above describe the same phenomenon.<br />
