I purchased a FLIR E4-B by accident. Will the hack still work for that model? The only thing different with the E4-B is the temperature range is not as high as the standard E series. I'm assuming the hack will work for this model but I'd like to verify it. Thanks.
I hope that I'm wrong, but the temperature range seems close to that of the Flir Lepton sensor, (which would be a very bad thing).Pretty sure hardware is the same, could be that it's calibrated over a more limited range.
By the way, can anyone tell me why this program (FLIR Tools) is so huge? 4.1 clocks in at 562.65MB!!!!???
I have a netbook that I should be able to revert to XP, with some trouble as it came with a XP DVD, but no optical
...
My constraint is that we have made measurements with an external germanium window (T=0.96) so I would like to convert raw data into estimated temperature to obtain estimates the same as what FLIR's software produces. We have hours of thermal video recorded in this manner, and so we are trying to automate the conversion process without requiring the FLIR software. I know the Planck calibration constants for my camera as well as the offset value.
The general premise is that I'm trying to track the path of the signal from the Object --> Atmosphere 1 --> IR Window --> Atmosphere 2 --> Sensor, taking into account any reflected signal that is also attenuated through the external optics.
In the attached https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7096611/thermalvids/RawtoTConversion.xlsx, I have shown calculations for the RAW 16 bit A/D value obtained from FLIR software (or extracted via exiftool), and my attempt to convert this to a temperature.
I thought I almost figured it out, but I keep hitting a wall. I've applied a kludge correction factor that appears to force values but I don't know why. Could I ask you to look over the attached spreadsheet to see what I might be doing wrong? It's an edited version of a spreadsheet that has appeared on this forums, but I've tried to adapt equations from Minkina's book "Infrared Thermography: Errors and Uncertainties".
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

my first look goes to unknown 0x84 and following Hi there, guys! Nice to meet you, I am new here. I need a night vision too. I am thinking of buying rifle scopes from atncorp. What can you tel me about it? My friend says that they are very good and reliable.
Hello everyone.
Sorry for my english ... I use google translator.
I would like to say thank you. A few days ago I bought E4 and upgraded its resolution. to 320x240. The picture is super.
At the beginning when the operation occurred colored vertical stripes that disappeared a moment of self-calibration of the camera. After 15 minutes use the camera the stripes not show anylonger. I have the picture of them:
My camera FLIR E4:
Model: E4 1.2L
Software: 2.3.0
How can I activate extended menu 2.3.0 software like here?
After few tests the file works/show extended menu:
Flir B335 converted to B425
Functions added: panorama, video recording, program mode, thermal fusion!
All credits goes to Mike! many many many many thanks!
- in camera settings set usb mode to network disk
- ftp to /FlashFS/system/gui.d/config.d/ (user: flir pwd: 3vlig)
- edit gui.cfg and replace all "false" with "true"
- put the correct CRC in the file and overwrite it in the camera
- shut down camera, remove battery, restart

I rewrote Tomas123's flir.php for batch process and added some more functions. I will post new versions only here, as update.
