Fundamentals

The special thermographic software IRBIS
®
VarioCAM hr head with a PC. It includes the following functions:
■ Remote-control of
remote/IRBIS ® online)
■ Real-time transfer, display and saving of digital thermographic measurement data on the control PC
(IRBIS ® online)
The following hardware interface is used for communication between the PC and the thermographic
camera:
■ FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface
By means of the FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface, the digital data stream continually provided by the
infrared camera is recognised in an image-synchronous way and provided for the display, evaluation and
saving within the repsective IRBIS
The infrared camera VarioCAM
FireWire (IEEE 1394).

Hardware Components

Control and evaluation PC
A FireWire (OHCI IEEE 1394) interface card must be installed in the control PC. In order to guarantee
safe connection with the thermographic system, exclusively use the IEEE 1394 interface card
recommended by InfraTec or included in the package.
Components for digital data transfer and camera control
Notebook
Should the thermographic system VarioCAM
system needs to be connected to an additional power supply. This can be a suitable Lithium-ion
accumulator or the included DC power supply unit* (with 14-pin LEMO plug). The 4-pin FireWire (IEEE
1394) cable (see Fig. 12, FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable, 4-pin page 17) facilitates hardware connection
between the internal mainboard IEEE 1394 interface of the notebook and the VarioCAM
pin FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable is used with an external PCMCIA IEEE 1394 interface card. For better
mechanical safety of the connection, it is recommended to always use a PCMCIA IEEE 1394 interface
card.
