IS640 Camera (retired)
Reliable, High Speed Data Transfer
Only one cable is required to connect the IS640 camera to your computer. Radiometric image data is transferred from the camera to computer by way of a PCIe Camera Link video board. Camera Link is a high-speed serial digital bus designed specifically for machine vision cameras and offers the highest stability and throughput of any camera bus. Image data is transferred to computer memory using DMA channels that do not burden the computer’s CPU. This is essential due to the high demands placed on the CPU in processing and analyzing thermal image data. The camera is powered via 12 VDC Power over Camera Link (PoCL), eliminating the need for additional power supplies and cords. The video board includes a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) providing reliable camera control via serial communication between the IS640 and computer.
Setup
Mounting Threads
There are two ¼-20 internal threads (1.5” apart) and two M6 internal threads (25 mm apart) on the bottom of the camera that can be used for mounting the camera. When mounting the camera, make sure bolts are securely screwed into the camera’s internal threads to prevent the possibility of dropping or damaging the camera.

Operation
Image Capture
-
Start Thermalyze by double-clicking the Thermalyze icon on the computer desktop.
-
From the drop-down box on the top toolbar, select the lens that is currently installed on the camera.
-
From the drop-down box on the top toolbar, select the lowest temperature measurement range.
-
Press the Camera Communication Settings button 
on the top toolbar within the Camera section to open the Camera Communication Settings window.
-
In the Com Port drop-down box, select the serial com port to which the camera is connected. To determine the correct com port, open Window Device Manager and expand the items under Ports (COM & LPT). There should be an entry called Matrox Solios Camera Link Com Port 0 (Com#). "#" indicates the serial com port that should be selected.
-
In the Baud Rate drop-down box, select 115,200 bps.
-
Click the Capture Image button 
to begin capturing and displaying thermal images.
-
Aim the camera at an object whose temperature is higher than the ambient surroundings (such as another person) and then press the Auto Scale button to the upper right of the image in the Color Palette frame. The images may not be in focus yet, but you should be able to see movement as you pass your hand slowly in front of the camera.
