So not necessarily thermal imaging related, but definitely camera and vision related.
I have 7 diagnostic instruments spot insight cameras, 6 PCI and one firewire camera. I have 3 PCI cards aswell. They are very nice cameras despite their age (they are just abit physically big). However, the base software to make them work again is 700$!! Honestly, id consider if i had a guarantee the cameras i have even work, which i don't. These cameras are early to mid 2000 era.

This is probably a longshot, but does anyone know of software i can interface to these? Better yet anyone have a dongle they can clone or sell me? Or even just screenshots and/or personal experience of this version of the software to make sure its worth the investment? I'd hate to just have to get rid of perfectly good cameras just because of software issues. I think TWAIN may work with these?
I'm planning on using them for my BGA rework station to inspect the BGA balls as they solder. These cameras seem a good fit for that.
