1. A system for indicating the location of an energy zone on an object surface, with the energy zone being an area on the object surface that is imaged onto an IR detector by the IR optical system included in a non-contact IR thermal measurement device, said system comprising:

  • a video sub-system for displaying a displayed image of at least a part of the object surface included in the energy zone and a part of the object surface not included in the energy zone;

    a distance entering interface for entering distance data indicating the distance between the non-contact IR thermal measurement device and the object surface; and

    an optical overlay sub-system, coupled to the distance entering interface, for overlaying a shape outline, having a dimension determined by a entered distance data, over a displayed image of the object surface and with the shape outline indicating the extent of a displayed image included in the energy zone.
