FLIR Systems ThermoVision Digital Toolkit is a set of VIs and examples that gives LabView® programmers an excellent tool to control, access and manipulate image data from FLIR Systems infrared cameras. The Toolkit will accelerate any application programming with FLIR Systems infrared cameras. So if you are an end-user or a system integrator that wants to build its own system utilizing infrared cameras for an R&D, Automation or Security application then the ThermoVision LabView Digital Toolkit together with FLIR Systems infrared cameras will give you a jump start in your task. The ThermoVision LabView Digital Toolkit will allow you to fully exploit the possibilities that modern Infrared Camera technology offers.
True Temperature Analysis
The Digital Toolkit is a set of 29 examples and 66 VIs (virtual instruments), of which 36 are general, and 30 related to cameras supporting alarms, measurement function and I/O functionality. As you develop in LabView®, you can use these VIs as sub-VIs to manage the communications with a FLIR Systems IR camera in digital mode. You can also generate true temperature images from images acquired through LabView. This means you can use the LabView® IR Measurement and Display tools to analyze the temperatures of the imaged objects.
The Digital Toolkit provides the functions needed to:
• Set up communications between LabView VI and the FLIR Systems IR camera
• Capture and gather images via FireWire, Ethernet, IRFlashLink, ITEX and PC-Card interfaces
• Adjust the camera configuration parameters and focus as you view a live image
• Control the camera calibration
• Send any other camera command to the camera
• Generate a true temperature image from a 16-bit image acquired from FireWire or frame grabber interfaces
• Close the communications to the IR camera
Key features
• Supports communication and broadcasting via FireWire and Ethernet interfaces (A- and S-series Cameras)
• Gives the user full control of the camera
• Allows the user to set alarm conditions (A-series only) and measurement functions in the camera
• Allows the user to define I/O functionality (ThermoVision A series)
• Based on ActiveX technology
• Converts 16-bit raw pixels into temperature pixels and several intermediate types of pixels formats, for maximum user flexibility. Applies to all camera models with temperature measurement capabilities
• Allows 16-bit temperature linear outputs from ThermoVision A20 M / A40 M FireWire cameras
• Reads from and writes to file in FLIR Systems’ proprietary file format (.img, .seq, .jpg) and writes to files in FLIR Systems’ open floating point format (*.fpf)
• Support for reading radiometric JPEG images produced by the camera
• Emissivity back calculations on a given image coordinate
• Emissivity correction map for absolute temperature images (all camera types)
• Support for sequence files
• Built in support for snapshot read-out of radiometric images (JPEG) produced by the camera
• Down sampling of A20 images to 160 x 120 to save disk space
• Includes method that allows using individual emissivity value correction on any single pixel or condensed measuring value e.g. average, minimum
• Supports acquisition of images through NI National Instruments’ Digital Frame grabbers,
• Supports acquisition of images through Imaging Technology’s IC-PCI DIG 2, FLIR Systems proprietary PC-Card frame-grabber, Automation Technology’s IRFlashLink, or FireWire and Ethernet interfaces
• Supports conditional recording to file through Imaging Technology’s IC-PCI DIG 2, FLIR Systems’ proprietary PC-Card frame-grabber, Automation Technology's IRFlash-Link, or FireWire or Ethernet interfaces
