Connecting the Tau to a PC via USB

The following steps assume that you have installed the FLIR Camera Controller GUI software
and the USB driver on your PC as described in the proceeding paragraphs 3.3.
Step 1 Follow the steps in paragraph 3.1.3 "Connecting the Tau Camera for Analog Video" on
page 3-3.
About two seconds after the USB cable from the camera is connected to your PC, you
should see video on your monitor. Verify that the camera is producing an image.
Step 2 Launch the FLIR Camera Controller GUI software by selecting Start→ Programs→ FLIR
Systems→ Camera Controller GUI.
Note
The FLIR Camera Controller GUI remembers the last COM port that successfully
communicated with a Tau camera and will use that port as the default when the application
starts. If the connected camera is no longer on that port, the port setting pop-up window will
appear asking for you to select the proper port setting.
