The MoviTHERM IR-CAT or "Capture Analysis Toolkit" is a general-purpose thermal imaging software package for FLIR Infrared Cameras. The software toolset is optimized for research and development workflows, and provides an easy-to-use platform for quickly and easily capturing thermal images and data.
All FLIR Ax5 and Ax15 GigE cameras are supported. The easy-to-use camera set-up and configuration dialog enables you to select the camera and get connected with just a few clicks.
The main workspace gives you immediate access to the most frequently used functions. You can customize the color palette and adjust the zoom to optimize your view of the inspection scene. Real-time image analysis -- coupled with single image capture and real-time sequence recording -- enable you to get the results you need. Whether you want to evaluate a real-time image stream or post-process your data for a closer look, the MoviTHERM IR-CAT offers the tools to get the job done.
An unlimited number of inspection zones or "regions of interest" can be defined. Data from these regions can be plotted to the real-time trends display, or exported to a spreadsheet file for further analysis.
To optimize the numerical accuracy of your temperature measurements, you can edit your camera's Emissivity settings. The software also provides support for cameras that feature focus and autofocus functions.
The software includes several unique, advanced features for research and development tasks. For example, local emissivity correction permits you to match the emissivity characteristics of different target materials in your inspection image. That way, the temperature readings will be reliable whether you are inspecting a homogenous object made of a single material, or an object composed of several different source materials.
The powerful "Difference Image Function" enables you to quickly isolate the regions where temperatures are changing. The regions where temperatures remain constant will receede in the difference image. This enables you to focus your analysis on the most interesting, or the most critical regions.
The ROI Trigger Feature allows you to trigger temperature alarms and events without requiring any external I/O hardware. Just set the trigger criteria and threshold based on the measured temperature in a region. When the trigger conditions are satisfied in the Region of Interest, the trigger action is executed. This feature can be used to capture images or data only when a pre-defined condition has been met, such as when the maximum temperature in a region exceeds a preset alarm limit.
The convenient Image Bay feature allows you to isolate specific images from a sequence, and separate them for further analysis. Just click to send the selected image to the Image Bay for further examination. Or save the entire Image Bay into a new sequence for further off-line analysis.
And speaking of offline analysis, the "Export to Excel" function allows you to save real-time and offline data into a standard Microsoft Excel database file. This opens your data sets up to the full range of graphing and analysis tools in Excel, and provides a convenient way to share your results with other team members, management, or even customers.
