Question:

As for Photon software, what does FLIR offer and what are the capabilities?

Answer:

Many customers use the Photon Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI is a PC program that enables remote command and control of the most commonly used Photon functions and features through an RS-232 serial interface to the camera. The GUI is available as a free download on the Software Updates page. A Photon is not required in order to run the GUI and view its capabilities.
