Powerful Temperature Analysis
Built-in measurement functions provide fast and
extensive temperature analysis including: isotherms,
spot measurements, line and area measurements, and
custom formulas. Line profiles and histogram charts
can be easily created for more in-depth analysis of
area and line tools. Object parameters such as
emissivity, distance, reflected temperature, etc. can
be modified using the software package, even after an
image or sequence has been stored to disk. All
measurement tools allow independent emissivity and
distance settings.
Static Image Analysis
Analyze static images or sequences stored with the
infrared camera to a PC
High-Speed IR Video And Data Analysis
By connecting the IR camera to a PC you can analyze
fully calibrated real-time digital video using the
software package and you can record sequences to the
PC's hard drive for post processing. This is ideal for
evaluating highly dynamic and fast moving events.
Three hardware options are available for real-time
data acquisition:
1. connect directly to the PC and acquire data at
up to 60/50 Hz using a Firewire connection.
2. Direct camera to PC connectivity
Automatic Temperature Vs. Time Plotting
Time vs. temperature trending can be performed in
real-time or with recorded images and sequences.
Several measurement tools can be plotted
simultaneously and at different sample rates. Plot
files can be saved and imported into Excel for more
detailed analysis.
Fully Control the IR Camera from a PC
When connected to a PC, fully control all
aspects of the IR camera. Focus, level and span
adjustment, temperature range adjustment, color
palette, etc. can all be controlled from the PC
without touching the camera. A button interface also
can be used to simulate pressing the camera buttons in
the event that you need to access the camera menus.
Multiple Camera Connection Using Firewire
Interface
More than one Firewire camera can be connected to
the same PC, and each camera can be viewed and
controlled in its own Researcher window.
Easy Data Export - Automatic Conversion of IR
Images to AVI, BMP, or MatLab Formats
IR images or sequences can be easily converted to
Bitmap, AVI, Matlab, or FLIR Public Format files. An
entire image can be exported to a CSV (comma separated
values) file that can then be imported into Excel or
other programs. The CSV file contains every pixel
value within the image separated by a comma.
Store Measurement Tool Results in ASCII Format
All Area and Line measurement tools can be saved in
ASCII format as CSV files. The resulting CSV file
contains each pixel value in the Area or Line and can
easily be imported into Excel or other programs.
Save Images in FLIR Public File Format
Allows users to perform analysis on the raw image
data using custom thermal analysis software. The
format consists of a header followed by a matrix of
single precision IEEE floating point values, each
representing one point on the image. All of the
information and file structure are published in the
owner's manual.
Automatic Sequence Reduction
Frames can be automatically removed from an
existing sequence to decrease the size of the sequence
file.
Image Subtraction
A recorded sequence can be subtracted from a base
reference image, or vice versa, using the Image
Subtraction function. The resulting sequence after
subtraction shows the difference in temperature
between the sequence and reference image for every
pixel. This is ideal for monitoring very small
temperature changes in a recorded sequence.
Variable Image Replay Rate
The playback speed of recorded sequences can be
completely controlled from the Researcher toolbar.
Custom Formulas
Create and apply custom mathematical formulas to
analysis results. All temperature results and image
properties are available for use in formulas.
Object Signal Unit
Object Signal is a unit of measure that is
approximately proportional to the amount of radiation
sensed by the infrared camera detector. Pixel data can
be analyzed using Object Signal to perform comparative
measurements between points on the IR image without
using a real temperature value.
OLE-2 Automation
Using OLE2, a Microsoft standard for linking and
embedding data between applications, you can link
image and temperature information from Researcher into
other compliant applications like Excel or Word. The
linked data will update automatically, so if a
temperature value changes in Researcher it will
automatically change in the linked application. In
addition, Researcher provides an Automation interface
that can be used to programmatically control the
software using Visual Basic or VBA. All Researcher
functions, image and temperature data, and camera
controls are made available, making Researcher ideal
for integration into automation applications.
Compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and
XP
compatible with a wide variety of Windows operating
systems. Specific software and hardware requirements
will vary depending on the interface used to connect
the camera to the PC. |
