The USB connection requires a FLIR USB driver on the camera and also on the com-
puter. Depending on the camera, there are two scenarios:
1. The camera has a newer FLIR USB driver
When the FLIR ReseachIR Max software is installed on the computer, a valid FLIR
USB driver is automatically installed on the computer. When this FLIR USB driver is
installed,
FLIR Camera Network Device is listed under Network adaptors in Windows
Device Manager. No manual installation of a USB driver is required, but you need to
configure the network interface (see section 9.2.3
Configuration of the network inter-
face , page 51).
2. The camera has a legacy FLIR USB driver
Installation of the driver FLIR X8400sc - X6500sc – USB.inf is required on the com-
puter. For more information, see section 9.2.2 USB driver installation , page 47. After
installing the driver, you need to configure the network interface (see section 9.2.3
Configuration of the network interface , page 51).
