Testing FLIR camera

Hello Experts,

 

Is it possible to build a system to test and measure FLIR camera specs , Like: star 380-HD? Does the vision builder enough or we need to develop a labview code?

 

Best regards,

What do you mean by "test the camera specs"?

 

Be careful with information regarding the FLIR Safire 380 because that is a military mid-wave IR camera controlled under ITAR (US Laws) and the The Wassenaar Arrangement (International Treaties).  It is against the law to share detailed "How To" information regarding these kinds of military devices with unauthorized individuals.  They are considered controlled U.S. Munitions and have very strict laws regarding their use, training, repair, testing, and data storage; with penalties up to 20 years imprisonment and $1 million USD fines per violation.

 

What I can tell you is that NI Vision Builder and LabVIEW both readily connect to USB and GigE cameras that are Gen<i>cam based.  The FLIR Safire 380 does NOT have those interfaces so you would need specialized interfaces and use the specific FLIR protocols for those devices --which cannot be provided to non-US Persons without clearance from the Dept. of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

 

Even if you are a U.S. person, you must protect this kind of data from being accessed by non-U.S. Persons even if within the US borders.  I recommend you contact your Export Controls department before continuing or if you company does not have an internal department, then contact a consulting firm such as Export Solutions Inc. who we have worked with and can recommend.
