Cedip Infrared Systems has launched an acquisition trigger module that enables its complete range of high-performance IR cameras precisely to measure and characterise transient thermal events – even when exposure times in the µs-area are required.
Available as a low-cost option, the acquisition trigger module connects directly to the PC USB port – ensuring high-precision image acquisition and recording. With extremely short electronic latency times and a digital output data stream, it is possible to know the state of recording almost instantaneously. The acquisition trigger module offers advanced functionality (prepare – start recording – pause recording – end recording) to enable operators exactly to control each stage of data acquisition. The prepare function has been implemented to give operators the flexibility optimally to set-up their Cedip IR camera, ready for use, remote from the application to be measured. The acquisition trigger module even enables to start recording on an external event (as something which passes in front of the camera).
Applications that will benefit from the new option include ballistics and target signature measurements; fire detection; radioactive zone thermal measurements and short-lived R&D applications requiring accurate and sensitive temperature measurement.
