Basics

A PC connection of the VarioCAM
special software. This contains the following functions:
Remote control of camera functions
Real-time transfer, display, and storage of digital thermograph measurement data
The following hardware interface is used for communication between PC and the thermograph camera:
FireWire (IEEE1394) interface
Using the FireWire (IEEE1394) interface, the continuous digital data stream supplied by the thermograph
camera is recorded image synchronously and prepared for display, evaluation and storage by IRBIS
online.
®
The VarioCAM head thermograph camera makes the digital image information available in a 16 bit data
width (14 bit digitalisation depth) over FireWire (IEEE1394).

Hardware Components

Control and Evaluation PC
The FireWire (IEEE1394) interface card is installed inside the control and evaluation PC or a FireWire
(IEEE1394)-interface is installed on a notebook.
Components for digital data transfer and camera control
®
If the VarioCAM head is to be controlled with a notebook, the thermograph camera must be supplied
with electricity via an external mains adapter. A 4-pole FireWire (IEEE1394) cable makes the hardware
connection between notebook and VarioCAM
If a (desktop) computer is used to communicate with the VarioCAM
not mandatory. However, a 6-pole FireWire (IEEE1394) cable is used here to connect the thermograph
camera and the computer with each other.
