Camera enables thermal imaging of microelectronics

The TIM 640 enables the recording of radiometric video images at 32Hz and, with a thermal sensitivity of 75mK, is able to detect even very small temperature differences. At ambient temperatures of between 0 and 50°C, the camera can measure object temperatures ranging from -20 to 900°C. For easy process integration, the camera is supplied with the TIM Connect software as standard. This enables users to monitor and document measurements and edit video images. Measurement points are freely selectable and can be analysed via user defined areas of interest. Alarms can also be set up and displayed, as well as maximum, minimum and average temperatures. The TIM 640 is supplied with an integral process interface for input and output of analogue and digital signals (alarms, temperature values, etc.). Open connectivity drivers are also provided for software integration via DLL, ComPort and LabVIEW, simplifying connectivity to fieldbus networks and automation systems.
