After you have saved some images on the PALM device, the next time you
HotSync, the images will be automatically transferred to a folder on to your PC.
The default folder is usually
C:\Program Files\Palm\TT\IRISYS.
NOTE:
•
While the Thermal Imager may be used solely with the Palm, access to a PC is necessary for
installing the Thermal Imager’s software to the Palm.
•
As an alternative to the portable use of the IRI 1011 using a Palm, the output of the imager
can be displayed and processed in real time using a PC, see Section
2.5
for using the IRI
1011 with a PC.

Switching off the Palm’s automatic shutdown
When the Palm is being used from its batteries, it will automatically shut down after a
short period of time to conserve the battery life. To change, or switch off the time
period for automatic shut down, it is necessary to install the ‘AlwaysOn’ software onto
your Palm. ‘AlwaysOn’ is free software and can be downloaded from the Palm website:
The following is a step by step guide for installing the ‘AlwaysOn V1.2’ software onto
your Palm:

Place your Palm in its cradle or connect it to its cable. Make sure the
cradle/cable is connected to your PC.

‘Modem’ connection. Make sure ‘Local’ is selected.

Starting the IRISYS 1011 Imager software
1.
Check that the Palm is charged.
2.
Make sure the Palm is connected to the IRI 1011 Thermal Imager with the
connection cable.
3.
Switch on the Palm and the Thermal Imager.
4.
Using the Stylus pen from the Palm, select the
Thermal Imager icon
to
launch the application
.
5.
Operation of the IRISYS 1011 Imager application is by means of the
Navigation/Action button and software buttons. See Section
2.4.2.2
for further
information.
NOTE:
•
The IRISYS Imager application takes a few seconds to load.
•
If the Palm battery is allowed to fully discharge, the imager software will be lost and must be
re-installed onto the Palm. The Palm uses power even when it is switched off. Regular
recharging is therefore recommended.
•
If for any reason the software locks up, perform a ‘soft reset’ on the Palm. See your Palm
Handbook for more information on resetting.
