Software for Research and Development Applications
Acquire, Analyze, and Share
Getting an infrared camera is only the first step in thermal analysis for Research and Development applications. When combined with the appropriate software, infrared cameras can offer a deeper understanding of the thermal performance of system while providing defensible temperature measurement data to support critical decisions.
Whether you need a complete, ready to go software package to reduce testing times or want to develop a custom software solution for your specific application, FLIR offers a wide array of options to fit nearly any requirement.
