The characteristics <strong>of</strong> the window material will always have some effect on<br />

the temperature measurement, but the attenuation can always be corrected<br />

by pre-calibrating the instrument with a sample window placed between the<br />

instrument and a target <strong>of</strong> known temperature. In closing the discussion <strong>of</strong> the<br />

transmitting medium, it is important to note that infrared sensors can only<br />

work when all <strong>of</strong> the following spectral ranges coincide or overlap:<br />

1. The spectral range over which the target emits<br />

2. The spectral range over which the medium transmits<br />

3. The spectral range over which the instrument operates<br />
