What is it:

Log temperature data from FLIR A310 IR camera(s) to a CSV file(s) using Python.

How to use it:

1. Install the pyModbusTCP Python library.
2. Get the IP address for each FLIR camera of interest.
3. In flir_a310_log_data_via_modbus.py:
   • Adjust the csv_header list for the number of cameras.
   • Adjust the ip_list list to match the number and addresses of cameras.
   • Set the reg variable for desired data object in the camera.
     • See matrix of registers published by FLIR.
4. Run flir_a310_log_data_via_modbus.py on a device that can connect to the cameras.

Results:

I have tested this with four cameras and a one second log interval in an industrial setting with great success.

Notes:

• The A310 only appears to update these registers several times per second.
• This may work with other FLIR cameras that can connect to a network via ethernet, but I haven't tried it.
