❓ CUSTOMER QUESTION

Can I still use InsideIR 4.0 with my Fluke Ti20 or Ti30 thermal imager?

Can Fluke provide the software, drivers, or support for InsideIR 4.0?

═══════════════════════════════════════════

📖 OVERVIEW

InsideIR 4.0 was the software package used to communicate with and manage thermal images from the following thermal imagers:

• Fluke Ti20 Thermal Imager
• Fluke Ti30 Thermal Imager
• Raytek Ti30 Thermal Imager

Version 4.0 was the final release of the InsideIR software package and no newer versions were developed for these products.

═══════════════════════════════════════════

⚠️ WHY DOESN'T INSIDEIR WORK ON MODERN COMPUTERS?

InsideIR 4.0 was developed during the Windows XP era and was designed around the operating systems and hardware available at that time.

Windows XP was the last known operating system on which InsideIR 4.0 was supported and validated.

The software relies on legacy communication drivers that are no longer maintained or distributed. Because these drivers are unavailable, installation and communication issues are common when attempting to use the software on newer operating systems.

Fluke has not tested or validated InsideIR 4.0 on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11, or other modern operating systems.

═══════════════════════════════════════════

🔧 DRIVER AVAILABILITY

Communication between the thermal imager and computer required specific device drivers.

These drivers are no longer maintained and are not available through Fluke Technical Support.

As a result:

• Installation on modern operating systems may not be possible.
• Communication with the thermal imager cannot be guaranteed.
• Driver troubleshooting is no longer supported.
• Updated drivers are not available.

✅ BOTTOM LINE

If you still have a functioning Windows XP computer with the original InsideIR software and communication drivers installed, you may be able to continue using your Ti20 or Ti30 thermal imager.

However:

❌ InsideIR 4.0 is no longer supported.

❌ Communication drivers are no longer available.

❌ Compatibility with modern operating systems cannot be guaranteed.

❌ No newer version of InsideIR exists.

Customers requiring ongoing image transfer, analysis, reporting, or support should consider upgrading to a current thermal imaging platform supported by modern Fluke software solutions.
