Bill --- End quote --- bummer...why not duration? also why should an FFC event last longer in one cam than in another if both use same principle? (same type of calibration) --- End quote --- The time when the flag is in front of the sensor is less relevant than the time it is away. Time with flag in front of sensor translates to the averaging of the drifting noise. Think like this: your NUC would be more accurate by increasing it. But you don't really need that because your sensor immediately drifts away from that very accurate NUC. So what you want is to do the NUC more often. The time with the flag in front of the sensor is related to : - how long it takes to move the flag in front of it - then you have to be sure it's really in front and take the frames only after that: it could be triggered by hardware or with a dumb timeout - you might want to average more or less during the calibration - then the processing itself probably need more time than the actual frames time. - you might want to make it longer just to sell a more expensive one that is less sub-optimal :D That's just what comes to my mind, so there are a lot of variables to play with. |

DajMasta, I just checked the installed SC4000/6000 GUI and the camera options in FLIR Researcher 2.08SR3 I am pleased to advise that both contain signs of support for the Phoenix :-+ Pictures attached Fraser |

That will add some delays. There may well be 'other stuff' going on than just a simple frame grab and some maths to do an image FFC. Data may need to be read back before the FFC can be processed - like sensor temperatures If the camera needs to change gain mode. that may change voltages that have to settle fully before you can start the FFC. (Going a bit far off topic !) Bill |

Great that the camera's been sighted, but the only version of Researcher FLIR has in their repository is 2.10, which both doesn't include the mention (though it does include the SC4000/6000 cameras), and doesn't offer any direct RS232 or other serial connections for control, just IP and Firewire. They have patches available for 2001 and 2.8, but no software package. I will continue to poke around a bit, but hopefully FLIR can point to a download or to software that actually has a means to purchase that still supports it. |

DajMasta, I will sort you out with the GUI today. I hope FLIR can help you with software to use with the Phoenix. Sadly FLIR Researcher was never an inexpensive option. It cost the original purchaser of my SC4000 $7K :scared: I have had a look in my software archives and I own the following Researcher software: Researcher 2001 inc Licence Researcher 2.8 inc Licence Researcher 2.9 inc Licence Researcher 2.9 30 day trial Researcher 2.10 30 day trial I also have IRWin 2.01 which I suspect supports the Phoenix camera. If FLIR cannot help you with software I will see if I can. Sadly I do not have any duplicate licences amongst my software collection. If 2.9 supports your camera you can, at least, have a copy of my 30 Day trial disk. It could well be that my version 2.8 operates in 30 day trial mode if a licence is not entered. I would have to check. You will likely need a Windows XP platform to run Researcher. Fraser |
