Thermal Image Transfer from HSI3000 Series to a PC

4.1

SD Card

The Secure Digital (SD) memory card is the HSI3000’s storage device for thermal images. This is also used
to transfer thermal images to a PC when used with the SD card reader. Note that the imager will not be able to
save thermal images without the SD card installed.

1.  Save thermal images onto the SD card as described in Section 3.4.4.2.
2.  Remove the SD card from the slot underneath the cover on the side of the imager.
3.  Slide the SD card into the SD/MMC slot on the USB SD card reader supplied, making sure of

the correct orientation.

Figure 22: Inserting the SD card.

4. Insert the USB connector of the SD card reader into a USB port on the Windows 2000 / XP PC, using

the extender USB cable if required.

5. Follow the card reader device driver’s installation instructions if prompted by Windows.
6. Either open My Computer and copy the .iri files from the SD card to the PC (recommended), or

leave the SD card in place while the “Wahl HSI3000 Series Imager” PC software is running and
open the files directly from the SD card.

Note:

Image files must retain their file name (TIXXXXXX.iri). If they are renamed on the PC, they will no

longer be readable by the imager.

4.2 USB Cable

A live thermal image can be saved directly to a PC using the USB cable provided connected between a PC’s
USB port, and the imager’s USB socket (see Figure 23). The “Wahl HSI3000 Series Imager” PC software
must be installed onto the Windows 2000 / XP PC before making this connection. See Section 5.3 for
more information.
