Got it, so it might be that actually my FLIR tools is not properly installed or I found another bug.
Got it, so it might be that actually my FLIR tools is not properly installed or I found another bug.
Reaching a state where flir tools are not installed properly is not all that hard to do. The standard installer is not very robust I noticed. What does help, is getting the .zip (instead of the .exe), then extract it, and take a look at the "prerequisites" directory. You can then run one or more installers from that dir, depending on what failed during automatic install. That did help in my case.
Thats exactly what Im using, and what Im doing and it still won't work. Ive done it three times exactly as directed. I calculate the same CRC01 each time. It just doesn't work.
I guess I give upsuggestion: give EZCRC01 a try, ensure you do not pack your ZIP file too deep or copy the e8.conf (lowercase e) by FTP, don't forget battery-re-insert(cold boot)
Received Flir E4 today from Grainger in Denver. Took 3 business days to transfer from distribution center to the store.
Firmware: 1.19.8
Calibration Date: January 7, 2014
Will modify it later, but looks like the firmware is the same as others so should be nbd.
A hearty thanks to Mike for posting this mod. The availability of it definitely pushed me off the fence and caused me to buy a TIC. Flir salesman of the year.

Would you be willing to post your partial serial number (with XX in place of last 2 or 3 numbers to hide identity) for reference on Aurora's thread? Yours is the most recent calibration date posted on here yet!
After reboot the resolution came back at 320*240, but the Camera information still shows a E4 1.1
QuoteAfter reboot the resolution came back at 320*240, but the Camera information still shows a E4 1.1Yes, because the camera IS an E4. Apparently you CAN make it present itself as an E8 by editing the EEPROM but I don't really see the point. You've got the 320*240 resolution, you know it "behaves" like an E8, why is it important for you that it says E8?
Hi,
I might be wrong but since you've got the 320*240 resolution and it sticks thru power cycles I'm pretty sure you've done everything right related to the original hack by Mike. Where does it say that it should show E8?
For mac you can use ScreenFlow (select Record Video From) to record video, even if your FLIR tools doesn't detect the camera.
@tomas123:
Does the 16-bit radiometric video work on E4? Or was that only on the E40 and up? I recall your posts about the .seq file, but IIRC that was on your E40. But if there is some way to get 16-bit radiometric video on the E4 that would be really neat!

Hey Tomas, you IM wizard, help me with this:
How can I convert an 8-bit PNG thermal image into a bar-shaped color lookup table? I want to steal some of the pre-release palettes that FLIR hinted at and use them in my images.
Hi,
I might be wrong but since you've got the 320*240 resolution and it sticks thru power cycles I'm pretty sure you've done everything right related to the original hack by Mike. Where does it say that it should show E8?

The guy may want to sell his E4 as an E8...
EDIT: Also tested with PocketPC 2003 SDK - works fine too - example exe (hello world - no additional benefit) is attached.
Code: [Select]//set file name
rset .image.services.rtrecord.filename \FlashIFS\001.seq
//activate recording to memmory
rset .image.services.rtrecord.active true
//wait a moment while rcording
//now save video to flash
rset .image.services.rtrecord.store true
store -j \FlashIFS\myfolder\0####.jpg
this needs no RAM as buffer memory and you can write about 10.000 frames until the Flash is full
New version of BFIC available. Now you can enjoy thermal fusion and thermal opacity/transparency with your E4.
