Lens - FLIR X8400sc User Manual

General When detached, the LCD screen can be connected to the camera using a provided right
angled USB extender cable. Any additional USB extender cable can be added to extend the
length. Performances are then strongly depending on the quality of the used cable and the
environment in which the camera is used.
The screen has been designed to be easily used on a workbench, as shown in next figure
The screen detects automatically its orientation and flips the interface accordingly. The
orientation can be locked in the ResearchIR Max camera user interface (see §4.4.8)

4.3.2 Lens

A large range of lenses is available for the X8400sc. Lenses feature a professional bayonet
mount with lock. Each lens is identified through the bayonet connector. A temperature probe
is also integrated into the lens. This probe is used by the camera to compensate for thermal
