◆ How to install a thermal camera
For instructions on how to install the thermal camera, please refer to the "Thermal Camera Option Assembly Manual" attached at the bottom of the page.
Once the thermal camera is installed, the robot will automatically recognize the camera, so no special settings are required.
If the camera is not recognized, please restart the aircraft and try again.
◆ How to use on the operation screen

◆ Take photos with a thermal camera from the operation screen
If you want to take a photo using the thermal camera from the operation screen, you will need to change the "Camera to use when taking photos" setting.
Click the "Action Menu" (light blue icon) at the bottom right of the operation screen and open "Basic Settings" in the menu.
Clicking "Settings" will display the screen shown below. About image capture
Click on "Camera to use when taking photos" and "Gimbal camera" and "Thermal camera" will be displayed, then click on "Thermal camera".
This completes the photo shooting setup.
If you take a photo in this state, the image from the thermal camera will be uploaded to the report.
◆ Registering checking items
To measure the temperature only within the specified range at the location being photographed and include it in the report, you must register it as a "check item."
Click the action menu at the bottom right of the operation screen and open "Check Item Settings."
Once the settings screen opens, register the item.
・Check the item as "New Registration"
・Enter a name for the new item
・Set "Data Acquisition Range Settings" to "Thermal Camera Temperature Range"
Once the settings are complete, click "Next" to proceed.
Clicking "Next" will take you to the screen where you can set the temperature measurement range.
- Drag anywhere in the window displaying the image from the thermal camera to create a rectangle.
- Be sure to enter a "Name" on the right side of the screen .
- Once you have completed the settings, click "Register" to complete. If you do not want to register, click "Cancel".
- After clicking "Register", the check target setting screen will open and close automatically, but this does not affect the registration.
◆ Threshold setting
It is possible to set thresholds for the maximum and minimum temperatures measured by the thermal camera and receive notifications.
You will need to "register as a check item" in advance , so if you have not yet registered, please register as a check item first.
To set a threshold, open "Check Items" from the "Global Menu".
Once the "Check Items" screen opens, click on the check item you just registered to open it.
When you open it, the threshold settings will be displayed on the screen.
By default, it is set to "Do not set threshold," so click the switch to change it to "Use threshold."
When "Please select threshold rule" is displayed, you can set the threshold rule.
Click this and select any threshold rule to register.
If you have not created a threshold rule, click "New Registration" to create a new threshold rule.
How to create a threshold rule
Once you have set the settings, be sure to click the "Update" button at the bottom of the screen to save them.
◆ How to use with Flow
There are two ways to take photos using a thermal camera in Flow.
・Task image capture
・Check item capture
You can also use commands to change the temperature range and color map displayed by the thermal camera.
・Thermal camera temperature setting
Task image capture
You can take a photo using the "Task Image Capture" command.
When taking a photo, be sure to set it in the Flow so that it is sandwiched between the "Task Start" and "Task Complete" commands.
When using "Task Image Capture," the range you specified in advance will not be reflected, and the maximum and minimum temperatures will be measured from the entire image.
Photographing check items
You can take a photo using the "Photo of Check Item" command.
When taking a photo, be sure to set it in the Flow so that it is sandwiched between the "Start Task" and "Complete Task" commands.
When "Photo of Check Item" is used, the range you specified in advance will be reflected, and the maximum and minimum temperatures within the specified range will be measured.
Thermal Camera Temperature Settings
You can change the temperature range displayed by the thermal camera. The command is in the "Settings" tab.
By setting the parameters, you can turn "Automatic Temperature Range Adjustment" on or off, change the color map, and change the temperature range to be displayed.
◆ Check the temperature at any point in the report
When you click on the thermal camera image in the report, the temperature of the clicked point will be displayed on the left side.
Up to three points can be temporarily saved, but they will be reset when you close the image.
◆ Restrictions
A maximum of 20 thermal camera images can be sent in one report (as of v4.2.0).
*Normal images do not count towards this limit. If you want to upload more than 20 thermal camera images, please create a Flow to split them into multiple reports and upload them.
