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
