If there is a window between the measurement
object and the camera the emissivity that must be
set on the camera can be calculated as follows:

- Emissivity of the measurement object x degree
of transmission of the window x 100 = the
emissivity factor that must be set in percent.

7.3.2 Installation of VisionWin software

The latest version of VisionWin software has been tested on a computer with Windows XP32Bit. The
installation with other operating systems is possible but it can lead to error messages and/or the
software will not be supported. Before installing or prior to proceeding with any action administrative
access is required, please make sure that you are logged into Windows under an account with the
status "Administrator" or at least with administrator rights.

Please start the program “Setup-VisionWin” provided on the supplied CD/DVD to install the software
VisionWin for the necessary driver to operate Metis vision devices. Please note that Setup will run
subsidiary Setups. If messages are displayed saying the driver to install failed the WindowsXP Logo
test please continue to install the driver otherwise a proper function of the software is not given.
Please make sure that the software VisionWin is installed first, this should only take a few sec­onds. The installation of the drivers can take several minutes.
After installation please restart the computer.

7.3.2.1 Startup of camera /driver components

Please connect the camera to the power supply and directly or indirectly to the network cable with the evalu­ating computer.

There are several little steps needed so that the
software can communicate with the camera. First
you have to start the software Common Vision
Blox Management Console which you can find in
the startup menue under Stemmer Imaging-
>Common Vision Bloxt. The image shown on the
left will some up.

Please choose General settings and deactivate “Ac-

quire an image immediately when a driver is load­ed.” If this is omitted an error can occur when the

software is started. Please confirm WriteToRegistry
to save your settings

Then you have to register the camera to the driver.
Please choose CameraSuite which you can find
under point 2-Licensing

METIS Vision MV05 / MV09 Rugged Thermovision Camera

26

If you see the image on the left please enter the key
code written on the label of the CD/DVD. Alternative-

ly you can find it on the CD/DVD as a PDF “Lizen-

zenMetisVision_XXXX.PDF”. After entering the key
code please press the OK button. Sample: AHKL­FFQ5-SUZE-89HA-789F-65GH-26WJ

You will find the key code now in the list of the avail­able cameras. If the camera is power supplied and
connected with the network you will find a green
mark next to the camera key code. If the camera is
not connected a little red cross will show. Please
switch over to point 3-GenICam.

The software will try to connect with a camera. If this
does not work please press the button Discover.

METIS Vision MV05 / MV09 Rugged Thermovision Camera

27

After a short time (less than a minute) a connection
with the camera will be set up. Please choose the
suitable camera if more than one camera is shown
and end the software by saving the settings when
asked.

Metis Vision camera is aimed onto hot target, b/w pictures should be shown now

Now you should be able to see thermografical pic­tures with VisionWin also.
By starting up the VisionWin software for the first
time you will be asked for a calibration file. You will
find it on CD/DVD. The ending of this file will be
.abg. Please see VisionWin software manual.

7.3.2.2 SDK driver components of the camera

Please note that only the RunTime part of the SDK shall be installed during installation. You
will find a development installation in the CD/DVD directory CVB11.0 if you want to write
your own software for the camera operation. By purchasing the camera and the license key
these components may be used.
You will find components and programming examples for programming languages (Visual C,
Delphi, Visual Basic) in the installation directory. Please note that for Delphi only up to Del­phi 2007 is supported. If Delphi 2009 is used little changes for Unicode support have to be

made in the Header files. In the directory „interfaces for CommonVisionBlox SDK and Delhi“

on the CD/DvD you will find, besides a selection of sample applications for the camera driver
and calibration-DLL, prepared header units for Delphi 2009 (unicode support) and for Delphi
7 (without Unicode).

kept free of disturbing objects.

Emissivity

Formula character: ε. Radiation capacity of a measurement object in

relationship to an infrared radiation calibration source with the same
temperature.

Infrared radiation calibration
source

Also referred to as black-body radiators or black bodies. Artificial radi­ation source with an emissivity of approximately 1.00 or 100%.

Measurement uncertainty

Maximum possible deviation of the output signal from the correct tem-

perature of the measurement object at emissivity ε = 1, response time

t90 = 1 s, ambient temperature = 23°C.

Repeatability

Dimension for the repetition of a measured value under comparable
conditions.

Response time

Formula character: t90. Time that the Thermovision Camera requires to
track 90 % of a temperature change or of a temperature jump on the
signal output.

Spectral range

Specifies the wave-length interval of the IR radiation spectrum that is
filtered out for the temperature measurement.
