content: Hello EEVblog.It has been some time since I made my first post here.But in the meantime, a have developed and published a new software for the InfiRay, HTI, UNI-T and TopDon series of thermal cameras – with more brands coming.The software is called IRCAM Thermal Viewer and is the much-needed PC analysis software, which finally unlocks the potential of a vast selection of thermal cameras available on the market. The software features a large selection of advanced features.Supported Thermal Cameras for the current version:• InfiRay T2L (Including V2 Models)• InfiRay T2-Search (Including V2 Models)• InfiRay T2S+ (Including V2 Models)• InfiRay T2Pro (Including V2 Models)• InfiRay T3-Search• InfiRay T3S• InfiRay T3Pro• InfiRay P2• InfiRay P2Pro• InfiRay DV-DL13• InfiRay S0 Series• InfiRay Tiny1-C• HTI HT-301• UNI-T UTi260M• TOPDON TC001• TOPDON TC002• Victor 328BThe software is available for windows through the Microsoft App Store.My discord server:https://discord.gg/3zq3zXFA8BI hope some of you find it interesting 😊Here are some pictures of the current version of the software:

content: It is a walled garden where Microsoft controls what applications you own or what they will let you install and is bound to an online account. They can't be moved between just any machines by design. The app can be taken down from the store any time.In contrast to a regular windows executable where you can physically own the install medium. You can install it, run it, backup it...etc without any outside requirements.I don't have a Microsoft account bound to my instance of Windows 10, i don't need it, nor want it.

content: I like it in the way that it helps me manage updates and that it is available for quick download and updates directly from the Store front.As far as i know, Microsoft cannot take down MY app once it has been released on the platform - only i can do that. They can only take down their own software.If you have a Microsoft Account (I use mine for Mail, Google drive etc..), you can use the software on up to 10 different computers using your account.To me thats pretty nice.But nevertheless, i hope you try it out some day

content: The microsoft store does not even work here, pressing the button Get in store app does not do anything on Chrome or Firefox. I don't have Infiray camera yet but your software is really good. So to buy it I could pay you paypal, that's it.Why not use any other online payment way like Paypal with a website of your own domain?At least sell on Ebid.net store (with their Want zero fees for life?)

content: Hi All,I just bought a TOPDON TC001. I have to say I am really happy with this camera. The only problem right know is that the PC software lacks a lot features. I tried to use this IRCAM Thermal Viewer but although TC001 appears in the list of compatibles devices, the SW cannot find a connected camera.Has anyone ever tried using TC001 with this SW?BTW, ideally, I would like to control the TC001 directly from LabView to generate reports by programming. Does anyone have experience doing something similar?

content: You could try asking Infiray for the SDK that they offer for the Infiray Tiny1 core that resides inside your TC001. You can then directly control the TC001 camera and it’s data output. The difference between the TC001 and a Infiray P2 is the casing and possibly (I forget) the USB PID. The SDK will work with it at the cores ASIC level so should recognise your camera core.

content: I suspect there's a silent group who won't buy this from the microsoft store, so it seems like a good idea to raise awareness just in case there's a possible solution.The microsoft store giveth, and the microsoft store taketh away just as easily. The price is part of the issue; it's high but that isn't a problem if I could know that I would still be able to run the software in 10 years time from my backup copy rather than being beholden to a cloud service (and there are plenty of examples of how cloud services take away access).Personally I would: pay $10 from a cloud service and have the risk of only having access for a couple of years, or pay $100 and have offline access for longer.I know for others it's a matter of principle also.

content: I'll chime in to echo that requiring the MS Store as your only distribution method is a short-sighted and poor decision IF your goal is to maximize interest and uptake. It's fine as one source for people who can/will use the MS Store, but many MANY people avoid the MS Store. Especially your more technical, PC-literate users who have been working with PCs for years/decades. As this is technical software aimed at a technical crowd, you are severely limiting the uptake of your software.It's far too easy to offer an installer or executable on any number of other platforms, including your own web host, a cloud storage provider, GitHub, etc.

content: Fair enough, it's your business. But even more so, if this is a commercial venture, I think you'll be surprised at how many people avoid the MS Store. I mean just look at the reactions you've got here.I've been developing software professionally, and building PCs, since the 80's. I've been deeply immersed in the industry since that time. And I would never depend solely on the MS Store. As an additional channel? Sure thing. But never as my primary or only channel. It severely limits your market exposure.

content: Quote from: Veteran68 on September 14, 2023, 06:01:08 pmI have a similar background, and I also will never use the MS Store. In most cases, I have been able to find software I was interested in from sources other than the MS Store. If not, then I forget about it and find something else.The guy is cutting his own throat as far as appealing to a wide audience. I also will not join a Discord (or anything like it), just to download that other guys software.If you want people to try your software, stop with the limited availabilty, and the signups. Thousands of developers have been making trial versions of their software easily available for download, for decades, without playing these games.

They have 2 versions of the IR software and both are marginal at best. The new one seems to be so new that the temps are all wrong and the old one only accepts 1 image at a time, then crashes so i have to do each Thermogram then save to Word, open the tool again and do another, etc, etc , etc.So, does this tool work with the Thermal Imager on the Autel 640T drones?
