Hi Spirit532'
Ah, that explains the situation. Thank you. The lack of the Radiometric recording is no drama for me but I did wonder what I missed to enable that function during the upgrade. There are other functions that do not work on the Exx but I am just grateful for those that I have managed to add
The Kxx series are very much built for a specific role and intended to be a rugged waterproof handheld thermal camera that is easy to use in challenging conditions. Many fire fighting cameras are less than beautiful to look at
I was surprised that FLIR did not just adapt the Ex series by placing it in a more rugged case and install fire fighting custom firmware. Maybe the Ex series electronics is just not robust or capable enough for the task. High temperature capability is essential for both imaging and survival of the camera in such roles. FLIR have elected to use a version of the TAU core which is versatile and compact, but stuck with the popular pistol grip format rather than the scope format of the FLIR SCOUT or the larger screen format 'scopes' like the ARGUS 4 or Bullard Elite and Eclipse. The fire fighting thermal camera is a very different beast to what consumers or prosumers would want for general thermography. Deliberately fully automatic and with minimal controls and features. I still like and collect such cameras though. I have quite a few modern types but not a Kxx series unit. The TAU used in the Kxx series may retain its standard communications port and functionality so it might be possible to computer control the core and reconfigure it
. The TAU also offers a decent lens that can be manually adjusted with a simple tool, like with the Ex series. I have only seen one Kxx series camera on eBay and it was in a very sad state, yet was for sale at a high price.
But as you rightly say....... the Kxx series will win no beauty contests
