FLIR Systems has introduced a new version of its FLIR ResearchIR thermal measurement, recording and analysis software. Designed for research and development (R&D) and advanced scientific applications, the new software provides a comprehensive set of acquisition, diagnostics and data-sharing tools. In addition, the new software includes customisable, saveable workspaces that allow users to simply arrange how images, data, charts and plots are displayed.
ResearchIR connects directly to scientific FLIR thermal imaging cameras via universal serial bus (USB), Firewire, gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and CameraLink interfaces enabling fast viewing of thermal snapshots and movie files. The software supports a range of options including pre- and post-trigger recording based on user-configured start/stop times, scene temperature thresholds, frame rate and more.
As well as performing real-time image analysis with a set of measurement modes, ResearchIR also features zoom and pan capabilities enabling closer examinations. Software options for preset sequencing and super-framing allows researchers to more effectively analyse scenes that have wide temperature differences or targets with rapid thermal dynamics. An array of enhanced charting and graphing capabilities permits users to create line profiles and temporal plots for all of the measurement tools.

ResearchIR can export image and plot data graphically as a bitmap, CSV or Matlab file for reporting or further analysis in other software programs. In addition, thermal movies can be output as standard audio video interleave (AVI) files with the option to display overlays.
With the ability to view, record and store images at high speed, post-process fast thermal events and export still and moving thermal imagery, ResearchIR has the capabilities to help improve the efficiency and efficacy of research, science and development investigations.
