Comprehensive IR camera software

Pre-defined layouts make it quick and easy to start with your applications, which is why we know that every measurement task has its requirements. We have ensured that it is easy to adapt the preset layout to suit your requirements.

The user interface of the PIX Connect software can also be adapted to suit your workflow: software windows can be easily arranged using drag and drop; in the toolbar, you can save shortcuts for functions relevant to your application - or even remove links you do not need. Regardless of whether you are working on a desktop PC or a tablet, the user interface can be adapted.

Layouts as individual as your applications

The PIX Connect software makes a wide range of preset color palettes available. This allows optimal depiction of thermal contrasts. The pre-defined color palettes can be individually adapted to cater to the specific requirements of your respective application.

Associated temperature groups (isotherms) can be identified by color markers and highlighted. It is also possible to define temperature values in advance; pixels above, below, or between these values are highlighted in color.

It is not just a matter of size, but also depends on the content: designing a suitable measurement area

The size and shape of the measurement area can be freely designed and moved. A large selection of pre-defined measurement area shapes is available for an easy introduction. You can set up as many measurement areas as you like in the camera's field of view. To do this, it is possible to make a distinction between main and ancillary fields. Various modes can be set in a measurement area, such as minimum value, maximum value, or average value, or you can rule out the detection of hot or cold spots.

The separate setting of the emissivity for measurement areas allows you to monitor various material surfaces with a single camera. Quickly calculate the differences and averages between measurement areas with the PIX Connect software. Saved measurement areas can be displayed as an image, a digital display, or a diagram and then saved for further analysis.

Graphic display of the temperature values

Temperature values can be shown along a straight line as temperature profiles as well as 3D diagrams. A temperature/time diagram can be used to analyze the temperature development over time. Individual time sections can be lifted out of the diagram and analyzed in detail by zooming in and out. Diagrams defined in this way can be exported from the software and saved in Excel for further analysis.

Recording video sequences for later analysis and documentation

Besides single snapshots, video recordings can be made with the software, both with radiometric data included. This allows a detailed analysis of the measurement results afterward. An integrated screen capture function makes it simple to retrospectively generate videos in wmv format.

Videos recorded can be processed retrospectively. For example, individual sections can be cut out of a recording and can be saved as an independent sequence. Saved video recordings are available for analysis. The sequences can be played back in slow motion or time-lapse for this purpose. It is also possible to play back as a continuous loop.

Snapshots - all temperature information in one picture

The snapshot option works like a screenshot; an individual image is recorded from the live picture. This snapshot is a radiometric image (*.tiff), where all the temperature and measurement area information at the time of the recording is saved for every pixel.

Saving and exporting the image for further analysis in Excel is possible thanks to the option of saving the temperature matrix in text format, e.g. as comma-separated values (.csv format). It is also possible to continue processing the image data with standard programs such as Photoshop or Windows Media Player. Sections of the saved image can be zoomed in to get a closer look. A 3D display is also possible.

The merging function combines several camera angles together in a single picture

The PIX Connect software gives you the option of grouping together several cameras within a software instance, i.e. the field of view of several infrared cameras are merged together to make a single picture. For processes with several control points in particular, it is helpful to concentrate the various angles on one screen. Merging several cameras also makes it possible to get an all-round view of a 3D object.

You can merge several cameras either using a direct USB connection or via Ethernet. While in the first case, every camera needs to have its own USB port; for the second option, one Ethernet connection is enough. The cameras here are each connected to the Ethernet switch on the PC via a USB Server Gigabit 2.0.

Defining several alarm values allows for quick intervention

Alarms for freely definable measurement areas, calculated objects, uncommitted values of external transmitters as well as the internal temperature of the camera can be chosen via the software. Apart from minimum and maximum values, it is also possible to set so-called advanced alarms. These will emit a warning when the measured temperature approaches the defined minimum or maximum value, therefore giving you more options and time to react.

If the measured temperature reaches one of the previously defined values, then the software will trigger an alarm that can be forwarded to a PLC via the process interface. In addition to that, the critical event can be easily documented as a snapshot or video recording and be used for analysis later on.
