    About I/O, synchronization, and measurement 10.1 FLIR Ax5 General Purpose I/O The FLIR Ax5 camera has one general-purpose input line and one output line that can be used in control applications. Typical usage: • The output line is asserted when an alarm condition is met.

  • Page 25: Flir Ax5 Measurement

    SYNC_OUT port if set to ExtSyncMaster. 10.3 FLIR Ax5 measurement The FLIR Ax5 camera has an option to output 14-bit digital video that is temperature linear. Each count in the temperature-linear video corresponds to either 0.04 K or 0.4 K in 14-bit video, depending on the selected resolution.
  • Page 26 OInt register. The FLIR GEV Demo sample illustrates how to perform this kind of calibration. Please note that you will need to save the current settings if you want the new offset value to be persis- tent.

    Thermographic measurement techniques 18.1 Introduction An infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. However, the radiation measured by the camera does not only depend on the temperature of the object but is also a function of the emissivity.

  • Page 126: History Of Infrared Technology

    History of infrared technology Before the year 1800, the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the in- frared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800.
  • Page 127 History of infrared technology Moving the thermometer into the dark region beyond the red end of the spectrum, Her- schel confirmed that the heating continued to increase. The maximum point, when he found it, lay well beyond the red end – in what is known today as the ‘infrared wavelengths’. When Herschel revealed his discovery, he referred to this new portion of the electromag- netic spectrum as the ‘thermometrical spectrum’.
  • Page 128 History of infrared technology Figure 19.4 Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major break- through, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer re- sponded.

    Theory of thermography 20.1 Introduction The subjects of infrared radiation and the related technique of thermography are still new to many who will use an infrared camera. In this section the theory behind thermography will be given. 20.2 The electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is divided arbitrarily into a number of wavelength regions, called bands, distinguished by the methods used to produce and detect the radiation.

  • Page 130: Planck's Law

    Such cavity radiators are commonly used as sources of radiation in temperature refer- ence standards in the laboratory for calibrating thermographic instruments, such as a FLIR Systems camera for example. If the temperature of blackbody radiation increases to more than 525°C (977°F), the source begins to be visible so that it appears to the eye no longer black.

    Theory of thermography 20.3.3 Stefan-Boltzmann's law By integrating Planck’s formula from λ = 0 to λ = ∞, we obtain the total radiant emittance ) of a blackbody: This is the Stefan-Boltzmann formula (after Josef Stefan, 1835–1893, and Ludwig Boltz- mann, 1844–1906), which states that the total emissive power of a blackbody is propor- tional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
  • Page 134 Theory of thermography Another factor, called the emissivity, is required to describe the fraction ε of the radiant emittance of a blackbody produced by an object at a specific temperature. Thus, we have the definition: The spectral emissivity ε = the ratio of the spectral radiant power from an object to that λ...

  • Page 137: The Measurement Formula

    The measurement formula As already mentioned, when viewing an object, the camera receives radiation not only from the object itself. It also collects radiation from the surroundings reflected via the ob- ject surface. Both these radiation contributions become attenuated to some extent by the atmosphere in the measurement path.
