BUD!
MANY THANKS for the great WORK!!!
Flir E4 without wifi works!

does anyone have the first numbers of the serials for E4/E5's with wifi? (so first 3-4 numbers of serial?)
thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks!

My Flir E4 non Wifi model 2.0L firmware 3.9.0.
Is this a success?
Power on the camera and see if you now have 320x240 resolution working. <=== step 15 , I see is 80x60 , how to I check resolution
I skipped the step 15 and proceeded to step 16. Now the resolution shows 320X240 by itself without me editing anything. Did I succeed in the hacking?
I see that the digital resolution is 320x240 for hardwareversion E4 2.0.
For my E4 1.2L I think this is 640x480.
Or am I wrong?
Did Flir downgrade the hardware?

I was wondering the same thing, I believe the old ones were indeed 640x480.
My archieved photos say 640x480 for digital resolution, I'm sure.
Read the datasheet, it says 640x480 for the digital camera.
So the hack reduces the Original digital camera resolution from 640x480 to 320x240?
Is it possible to adjust the hack in a such a way to get the digital camera resolution back to 640x480?
With regard to visible camera resolution, it is not uncommon for the visible light image to be cropped and downsampled to match the thermal image when a 'dual image' save is active. This is done to simplify image comparison and even Image Fusion. The image you have provided details of was a dual image save.
Try taking a 'visible light only' image and check its resolution. The E4 camera is 640 x 480 pixels but what is saved depends upon how the E4 is configured. Visible light camera resolution can be set by a configuration line in the configuration file on earlier E4 cameras

Thank you for your insight Fraser, you sure are a living IRpedia!
Indeed as you described, it is a setting thing.
When one goes to: Settings - Save Options - Photo as seperate JPEG: and choose "ON", it will save the digital camera photo as a 640x480 JPEG file.
But when this option is set to "OFF", you will have the digital photo resolution of 320x240, as shown in Summer's screenshot above.
This is regardless of the "Digital Camera" only setting in the "Image Mode" option in the main toolbar (menu button press).
Strangly though, in this "Digital Camera" (only) mode, it makes the first photo (that would normally be an IR photo) in 320x240, but the (second) photo (that would normally be the visible camera photo) in 640x480.
That is a difference between the E4 1.2L FW2.3 en E4 2.0 FW3.9 because the setting of the imagemode option doesn't matter for the E4 1.2L. Digital resolution is always 640x480 in the archieved photos.
So the hack reduces the Original digital camera resolution from 640x480 to 320x240?
It has nothing to do with digital camera, it only unlocks the config file which then can be edited to E8 configuration.
That is a difference between the hacked E4 1.2L FW2.3 en E4 2.0 FW3.9
You should not be using the "hacked" word until you compare the stock cameras. If the stock WiFi camera shows same information, you should ask Flir why they changed it. To find out you can roll back the mod (see recovery procedure on page 8 ) or ask someone here who has not applied the mod yet to check what their stock camera says.
Yes, I understand and you are right, Bud. It will be a stock change by Flir and has nothing to do with the hack.
I first wonder why they make the change. My first thought was a hardware change but Fraser did explain it very well, I think.
By the way, I’m glad to ‘see’ you are back for this hack. Three years ago you did already some very good magic work together with Janekivi for the E4 1.2L, that I own. I tested at the time for Janekivi.
I wonder if the possibilities will be more than at the time. I already saw the new medical.pal you found.
Keep doing good work, Bud.
Hello all,
I would like to ask you is it possible to buy new E4 with or without wifi that is possible to hack to 320x240 E8? Is there any E4 that cant be hackable? Or if I get newer firmware than 3.9.0 is only limitation?
I would like to buy on ebay or amazon, can you help me? Many thanks dear comunity!
see Reply #325
Hardware 2.0L
Firmware is upgrade or downgradeable (i think)

No worries. 640x480 is still there, as was shown in the screenshot here:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/flir-e4-wifi-resolution-and-menu-hack-thread/msg1326599/#msg1326599You can see what the embedded image information says in the right pane.
Also, take any E4 image and run this exiftool command:
exiftool.exe -b -embeddedimage flirXXXX.jpg >test.jpg
You will get the 640x480 digital camera image in test.jpg
Bud, great work!
I had E4 1.2L, but, after malfunction, service Flir replaced to new 2.0L. I used for half a year with degraded resolution. Now is great again.
Two question:
1. How can I remove record menu from toolbar?
2. How can I remove splash screen with "This device is insupported...."
Thanks for your reply.
1. Edit toolbar-config.xml , find that line and comment it out or remove
2. You will have to live with it, it is a very small price to pay
Bud, would it be possible to edit the config file in such a way, that in the "Menu button - measurement options", we would get a 'double row' of options, much like the color palette options?
This way we could have a 'slot' for all available items.
Or would it take more than just editing the config file?
If you think that not all presets are displayed because of space limitation in the menu bar then this is not the case. Presets names are hard coded, you cant add arbitrary ones. The software decides which ones to display, the logic is unknown.
Bud, thank you for the hack!
can i send you a donation for a pack of beer?
-e4 non wifi-
Ah, oke.. thank you for clarifying!
Too bad though..
