Issues Connecting to the Optris Camera

[meekerry]

For Windows did you have to do anything other than extract the contents of the irDirectSDK? When I try and run this it seems to be unable to find the Optris Camera. I put in the serial # and the paths to Formats.def in the .xml file, but other than that I'm not sure why it's not picking up the camera.

ERROR [DirectBridgeClientUSB.cpp:165] @ 21.0635s :Device with serial 21012137 could not be found

The serial # is correct.

I found an old download-the 7.2v- so I'm going to try that too but was wondering if you had any thoughts. I am new to this and am trying to feed the Optris data to a python program I wrote so this would be perfect for that.

Try putting the 'Formats.def' file in the same folder where your Python code is and make sure to have the following line in the XML file:
<formatspath>.\</formatspath>

Do not bother installing an older version of the SDK; it should work with the latest one.
