The ThermoVision LabView digital toolkit allows the popular Thermacam SC3000 thermal imaging camera to achieve a new order of connectivity When teamed with IMAQ frame grabber cards
The new toolkit supports National Instruments' IMAQ 1422 and 1424 digital video boards and the IMAQ 1409 analogue boards, allowing users to take advantage of the 14-bit dynamic range of the Thermacam SC3000 camera.
This option is ideal for those whose monitoring requirements cannot easily be met by packaged software.
Digital input is critical in applications where thermal events occur or large temperature spans exist.
In addition to QWIP technology, the Thermacam's longwave operation in the spectral range 8 to 9m, plays a major part in the provision of high definition thermal images.
It enables the user to clearly see, measure and quantify thermal performance across the wide temperature range of -20C to +1500C (optionally, +2000C) at a digital frame rate of 50/60Hz.
The digital interface allows the Thermacam's 76,800 real-time measurement points, low noise and high sensitivity to be fully utilised without the signal quality loss often associated with analogue signals.
The ThermoVision LabView digital toolkit is the latest product to emerge from a relationship between Flir Systems and National Instruments that has now spanned three years.
It allows the user to overlay a series of spots, line profiles, areas and blob analysis for multiple temperature measurements, greatly enhancing the monitoring and control potential of the Thermacam SC camera.
