An infrared camera is a precision instrument and uses a very sensitive IR


detector. Pointing the camera towards highly intensive energy sources –
such as devices emitting laser radiation – may affect the accuracy of the
camera readings, or even harm – or irreparably damage – the detector.

ii Camera Commands Manual


1 Introduction
This publication describes the official commands to control a ThermaCAM™/Ther-
moVision™ PM/SC camera from an external computer. The connection is via the
serial line in the basic LEMO connector (power).
Please note the following:
• Baudrate defaults to 19 200 baud, 8 bits per character, no parity, software
handshake using Xon/Xoff.
• Commands are given as ASCII alphanumerical strings terminated with return or
linefeed. (The camera sees linefeed/return as the same character.)
• A command is 1–10 character followed by a ‘:’ for control commands or a ‘?’ for
query commands.
• After the ‘:/?’ separator follows an optional, per command defined parameter
list. Parameters are separated with ‘,’ character (comma) if more than one
parameter is necessary/wanted.
• The command string is not case sensitive.
• Answers to commands are always prefaced with the command itself followed by
the character ‘!’ and thereafter the per command defined answer.
• Answers contain a varying number of arguments, separated with ‘,’ (comma).
• The string ‘quit:’ given from the host while the camera dumps data stops the
transmission and returns the camera to prompt.
• Commands/answers are acknowledged with a new prompt string, normally ‘OK’
(mode dependent). For unknown commands and commands with incorrect syn-
tax there will be an error message given as ‘ERR!<error number>,<aborted
command>’.
• Query commands are normally given without arguments, but if a corresponding
control command exists, arguments are first used to perform the control before
the query is executed. The query command is then used both as control and
query.
• Some query commands have a query parameter to limit the answer, for instance
area commands or versions commands.
• Received characters are normally not echoed. For computer programs it is not
practical with echoing. However, when a user is communicating with the camera
from a terminal or terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal in Windows®)
it much more convenient with echoing enabled. To control echoing there is a
separate command.
• The camera does not normally transmit on its own initiative. There are some
exceptions.

At start-up the camera presents itself and its program version. This is a typical ex-
ample:

The camera may also write some debug strings in different situations.

2 Communication setup
2.1 Hardware setup

2.1.1 Necessary hardware parts (depending on system config.)


햲 Break-out box, including break-out box cable (P/N 194 257)
햳 Power supply, including mains supply cable (P/N 194 091)
햴 RS-232 cable (P/N 908 618)
햵 Extension cable between the camera and the break-out box cable, if necessary
(P/N 194 267)
햶 Parallel interface (P/N 194 441)
햷 Camera cable, 2.5 m / 8.2 ft. (P/N 194 450)
햸 RS-422 cable (P/N 1 195 088; image transfer only)

2.2 Software setup

햲 In Windows®, go to the Start menu and select HyperTerminal (Start → Pro-


grams → Accessories → Communications → HyperTerminal).
햳 Run HyperTerminal. On some Windows® operating systems a setup wizard
will guide you through the setup.
햴 A dialog box will appear prompting for a name for the connection. Enter any
name, e.g. ThermoVision. In order to be able to use this connection later, save
the connection when exiting the HyperTerminal.
햵 A new dialog box will appear, prompting for the name of the communication
port. The communication port is usually COM1, although this depends on the
system configuration. Information on the number of ports on a particular com-
puter can be found by using the Device Manager (Start → Settings →Control
Panel → System → Hardware →Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT)).
햶 A new dialog box — Port Settings — will appear. Use the following values:
• Bits/s = 19200
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = None
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = Xon/Xoff

4 Camera Commands Manual


[2.2 — Software setup]
햷 Pressing OK will confirm the settings and bring back the HyperTerminal win-
dow. Pressing the Enter key should make the word OK appear on the screen,
which means that the communication works properly. However, sometimes
double-checking the communication is desirable. This can be done by entering
the following commands and pressing Enter (do not enter the quotation
marks):
• ‘echo:on’ — Displays the commands that are sent to the camera.
• ‘autoadj:3’ — Performs an auto-adjustment of the camera which will make it
sound, indicating that the mechanical shutter was actuated.

3 Command descriptions
N.B. – The commands in this manual do not apply to all existing FLIR Systems IR

swer ...

Function The command sets the stripe factor in SC3000.

When a range is set this command should be issued to read which output
speeds the camera has been calibrated for. Values 3,5,15 are possible, but not
all are guaranteed, since this is system-dependent.

<directory name prefix>‘-’<nn>‘.IMG’.
<directory name prefix> is the first 5 characters in the directory name.

If the directory name is shorter than 5 chars, the complete dir name will be used.
<nn> - number 01—99

If image ‘99’ exists, the ‘-’<nn> is replaced with <nnn> - number 100—999
Example name: INSPE-03.IMG — third stored image in the ‘INSPECT directory’.

It is not allowed to store images at root directory.
