ThermaCAM RTools

ThermaCAM Rtools is a highly sofisticated software package developed for engineers and scientists to acquire, radiometrically calibrate, process and analyze data from various digital infrared camera systems. The RTools toolkit is comprised of several stand-alone modules named RDac for data acquisition, RCal for IR camera calibration, REdit for file archival and maintenance and RView for data review and analysis. Created for flexible and extensible use in data achieving, ThermaCAM RTools utilizes the US Air Force’s Standard Archive Format (SAF).

RDac™

RDac is a real-time data acquisition program developed to communicate with and acquire data from numerous of-the-shelf and custom radiometric instruments. The module is designed for ease of use while providing real-time data capture, viewing, analysis and storage.

• Real-time radiometric output: radiance, radiant intensity, temperature, target length/area and more
• Multiple color tables (grayscale default) with real-time image scale control
• Compatible with many FLIR Systems infrared cameras including the ThermaCAM SC 3000, the Merlin and the Phoenix. Other imagers with RS-422, LVDS and TTL outputs can be supported
• Integrated IRIG-B timestamp capability
• Embedded spatial and spectral radiometric calibration support
• FLIR Systems ThermaCAM Phoenix four channel preset sequence and Superframe support
• SAF file format compatibility

RCal™

RCal is a standalone tool that works in conjunction with the RDac module and the SAF data file format to radiometrically or thermographically calibrate all types of banded instrumentation.

• Calibrates IR banded instrumentation in terms of radiance, irradiance and temperature
• Multiorder calibration
• Allows the use of different transmission and/or emissivity curves or constants for each calibration data point
• Incorporates Tophat or actual instrumentation spectral responses
• Automatically provides calibration coefficients for SAF data file
• Uses ModTran output files to incorporate atmospheric effects
• Provides the necessary calibration data needed to set instrumentation sensitivity and spectral range

RView™

RView is an easy-to-use, high performance, radiometric data viewing and analysis module that is compatible with IR imager and hyperspectral SAF file formats.

• Data types: raw, radiance, irradiance, intensity and temperature with adjustable emissivity
• Output file formats: text, avi, mpg, bmp
• Movie player (forward, reverse, adjustable speed)
• Hyperspectral data cube support (spatial, spectral and time)
• Adjustable color tables (grayscale default) with real-time image scale control
• Multiple region-of-interests: box, circle, freeform, and line
• Statistical ROI, Contours, Line profiles, and Histograms
• Radiometric calculator using ROIs, constants and trig function variables
• Image segmentation
• Voxel plots (stats vs. Time or wavelength)
• 3D viewer
• Script creator to minimize data reduction and analysis time

REdit™

REdit is a utility to provide the RTools user with a quick and convenient way to edit header/footer of Standard Archive Format (SAF) data files. The editor
provides the user with both individual and batch mode capability to modifie header data on one or numerous files during a single session.
