The Extech i5's QuickReport PC software makes it easy to download standard jpeg thermal images with radiometric data, and to generate reports, analyze, and document findings.
At only 12 oz., the Extech i5 is extremely lightweight, resulting in less user fatigue. With its pocket-sized, fully automatic design, even first-time users will find ease of operation, making it perfect for general use.
