Installing the Software
LumaSense’s thermal imaging software provides you with
all of the necessary executables and support files needed
for remote camera control operations.

camera package. Screenshots of your software may vary slightly.
1. Close all programs on
your PC.
2. Insert the disc that
came with your
camera into your
optical drive.
3. Follow the on screen
instructions to install
the software. The
installation will com-
plete within a few
seconds.
Note: If you are using a disc and do not get on screen instruc-
tions, it could mean that your auto play feature is disabled. In
this case, open the disc files and right click the
LumaSenseInstall.exe file and click Run as Administrator.

your system. A system restart is not required for Win-
dows 7 or higher.

utility and LumaSpec RT (or similar software) should
be present in the list of programs.
For information on using the software, refer to the
software manual that came with your system.
