FLIR A68/A38 Series Overview
Description
The FLIR A68/A38 series cameras are small form factor long wave infrared cameras.
The FLIR A68/A38 Series cameras are based on Teledyne DALSA detector technology.
The camera is available in two resolutions, VGA (640x480) and QVGA (320x240).
The FLIR A68/A38 series cameras features an internal mechanical shutter; this allows
the camera to recalibrate itself upon demand during operation. This ensures uniform
image output regardless of the camera's thermal environment. Note that factory
calibration of the A68/A38 cameras allows them to operate for a long period of time
before shutter may need to be activated.
This manual describes features available for the FLIR A68/A38 series firmware release
2.51.

Camera features can be controlled using a GigE Vision compliant software API, such as
Teledyne DALSA's Sapera LT SDK. Within the Sapera LT SDK, we currently offer a
generic GigE Vision driver that supports all Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision cameras,
including all future A68/A38 GigE Vision cameras.
