Analysis/recording system

By Design News Staff -- Design News, February 2, 1998

TRACER(TM) is a real-time thermal system for analyzing and recording temperature data. The system combines a high-resolution thermal-imaging camera with a Pentium PC, digital video recording system, and Windows-based analysis software. In a base configuration, TRACER can record 5+ minutes of thermal activity at a 60-Hz frame rate with 12-bit pixels, capturing 9.3 Mbytes of data per second for analysis. The system senses temperature differences of less than 0.1C at 30C, and can measure the temperature of objects from -10 to 2,000C with an accuracy of ±2% percent or 2C.
