OK... adding to the manual / fire-tics links Fraser has given ...
Sensor
Ulis 0319, 320x240, peltier setpoint controlled.
'Core':
e2v own design, DSP based.
Direct driven LCD
P7130 is 30Hz image rate, there is a 9Hz export free version - the P7109.
Sensor run at 60Hz and averaged.
'Ambient' range mode to 150°C with MDTD around 50mK.
Will image up to 1000°C in 3 gain modes, with worsening MDTD.
As good an image as any around. Much better than the earlier P7030. While VOx is a better material, VOx cameras use that advantage to have cheaper lenses, less gain modes and so on. Result - no better images.
Built like the proverbial brick *********. No problem with 2m drops, throwing against walls etc, except damage to the wall.
As with all bolometers, eventually will show some column nonuniformity between shutter NUC operations on a flat scene. However the peltier control helps there a lot, and shutter NUC is set to 5 minutes. Also the mimimum range span is 8°C so it does not show.
User control is just images and setting up colours, see manual. You are stuck with my choice of gain / minimum range and so on.
Images saved as proprietary format and output as bmp/jpg from customer software (freely available), images attached are straight off the camera.
Limitations:
Does not do measurement across the scene. Fixed centre temperature measurement.
No ready access to raw image data (ie I cannot find, remember or reverse engineer the format
).
Video recording / stream / analogue out via accessories only, although analogue is a simple hack to a battery.
Network streaming is also a battery hack, if somewhat odd in setup. Again your friendly global support centre will assist
