Appendix D – Interprocess Communication (IPC) of the thermoIMAGER
TIM Connect Software
The communication to the process imager device is handled by the thermoIMAGER TIM Connect software
(Imager.exe) only. Micro-Epsilon supplies a dynamic link library (ImagerIPC.dll) that serves the interprocess
communication (IPC) for other attached processes. The DLL can be dynamically linked into the secondary
application. Or it can be done static by a lib file too.
Both Imager.exe and ImagerIPC.dll are designed for Windows XP/Vista only. The application must support
call-back functions.
The ImagerIPC.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication,
retrieving data and setting some control parameters.
Init procedure
