Up to 32 user-defined regions of interest (ROI) can be created for each infrared field of view, and all are monitored simultaneously. The emissivity of each ROI can be set separately, and each ROI can have its own high/low alarm setpoints. An operator can view the output from any one of the cameras with the click of a mouse, and the software automatically jumps to any camera with an alarm condition. In addition, the software displays the temperature for any point of interest when the cursor is swept over the image, or it can be directed to do a "peak search," where the cursor will go to the hottest spot in the image. Temperature values from the ROI's can be output to process systems using single-point I/O modules, so a specific ROI channel can have a min/max or average temperature setting, and the software's 4-2 ma outputs are mapped to this. That is, each channel is programmable to what the user wants 4 and 20 to equal, and the range in between is fully linearized. The software can produce a control output, put an alarm on the screen or send an alarm to a SCADA system.The software can slice and view thermal data in single images, sequences and even 3D profiles. Output options include AVI video or Excel data. When used for DualVision imaging with visual cameras, the software can blend the visual and IR camera feeds into a single composite image with correct aspect ratio and spatial area.
