The Introduction to Thermography is for the Predicative Maintenance expert user wanting an introduction class dedicated for thermal imaging.  No experience in thermography is necessary. This targeted introduction would expand knowledge of the thermal imager with simple science review, basic camera operation and meaningful measurement usage. This discussion will also include some image review for  pattern examples typical on rotating components along with the caveats and pitfalls that can present challenges.
