Thermal Imaging Software Tutorial for R&D/Science Users

FLIR Systems ResearchIR 4.2 thermal imaging software provides researchers and scientists with a state-of-the-art tool for viewing, acquiring, analysing, and sharing thermal data.

To enable users to get started, and then gain the full potential of this powerful software package, FLIR Systems has created several informative online tutorial videos that may be viewed on their website. 

Available in 20 languages, FLIR ResearchIR 4.2 software provides a comprehensive set of acquisition, diagnostic and data sharing tools as well as customisable, savable workspaces that allow you to arrange how images, data, charts and plots are displayed. ResearchIR4.2 connects directly to FLIR thermal imaging cameras via USB, Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet and Camera Link, enabling fast viewing of thermal snapshots and movie files. The software allows you to control zoom and pan capabilities and performs real-time image analysis with a variety of measurement modes. Software options for preset sequencing and superframing allow researchers to more effectively analyse scenes with large temperature differences or targets with rapid thermal dynamics. An array of enhanced charting and graphing capabilities permits users to create line profiles and temporal plots for all of the measurement tools.

New capabilities for version 4.2 of the software include giving users direct access to their MATLAB scripts within ResearchIR. This allows users to access customised MatLab scripts directly in ResearchIR for specially-tailored image analysis and processing tasks. In addition, ResearchIR 4.2 software provides FLIR R&D/science thermal camera users with UltraMax file support. UltraMax is a proprietary image enhancement technology available on FLIR’s Tsc-Series thermal imaging cameras.
