Digital I/O connection

[Coleman1]

Is there anyway that I can connect the ThermoVision A40 camera (http://alacron.com/clientuploads/direct ... asheet.pdf) which has a digital I/O, to a raspberry pi? I am working on a project where I want to have the raspberry pi scan the data from the thermovision!

Multiple Programming Options
The A40M can be easily leveraged to control a
process with LabVIEW and FLIR’s LabVIEW
Developers Toolkit. This SDK allows programmers
to access numerous measurement functions that
can then be used to turn the A40M into a
powerful machine vision tool with a minimal
investment in machine vision software
development.
Or, work in your own programming environment
with the ThermoVision System Developers Kit
(SDK) based on ActiveX and Visual Basic C++. The
SDK provides full access to camera measurements
and includes source code examples that will
dramatically reduce the time it takes to program a
custom solution.

(from their site)

Looks like you can easily get to the camera under programming control (API SDK) using windows.

That means that under the right conditions (hacking) you can get to the camera with any system|tools, but you might have to reverse engineer, and or, invent your own.

Read their site. Contact their reps.

The camera has a firewire interface which you can't use on the RPi. There is also composite (analog) out which probably can be used if you add a USB to AV capture card to the RPi.
You can control the camera via serial interface.
