TL;DR received new E4 in USA. firmware 1.19.8.
hi all,
not sure if this is still the relevant thread, but I just wanted to provide another anecdotal piece of evidence regarding shipping versions of the E4. if we've moved this information elsewhere I apologize and please direct me.
i got mine from amazon, it took forever to arrive despite prime shipping. amazon actually thought the unit was lost. I thought maybe FLIR had held shipment. but, it did arrive. here's what it says:
FLIR E4 1.0
Part number 63901-0101
software 1.19.8
when I went to download the software it offered me FLIR Tools 4.0.13330.1003 dated November 28, 2013, which seemed worrisome since it's pretty new and could try to break the hack. any comments on FLIR Tools versions?
finally, a question: JPEGs coming out of this thing are already in 320x240 resolution.
it isn't immediately obvious to me, perhaps I'm blind, whether they are extrapolated up from 80x60, in these days of huge resolution monitors I'm used to enormous JPEGs and I can't decide what I'm looking at.
is the hack to set the native resolution of the sensor to 320x240 and thus output a more clear JPEG?
or.....did something else occur and FLIR gave up? (doubt it)
cheers
