Optris Connect

For Windows systems, Optris Connect runs on any PC with Windows 11. The minimum hardware requirements are 8 GB of RAM, an Intel Core processor of the 6th generation, and a graphics card comparable to the following: Nvidia 900 Series, AMD Radeon HD 7000, AMD APU (all Ryzen-based graphics), Intel Discrete (all models), or Intel iGPU of the 6th generation or higher.

On Linux systems, Optris Connect runs on Debian and Ubuntu distributions. The software can also be installed and operated on a Raspberry Pi 5 mini-controller.

What is the difference between Optris Connect and PIX Connect?

Optris Connect is designed for everyday operation, offering a lightweight, user-friendly interface for basic visualization, measurement field configuration, and alarm setup. PIX Connect is an advanced process and analysis tool for specialized applications such as linescanning, merging, and detailed process evaluation, but requires more computational resources.

Can both software packages run on the same computer?

Yes, Optris Connect and PIX Connect can be installed and operated on the same system without conflict. Different cameras requiered.

What are the minimum system requirements for Optris Connect?

For Windows systems, Optris Connect requires Windows 11, 8 GB of RAM, an Intel Core 6th generation processor, and a compatible graphics card (e.g., Nvidia 900 Series, AMD Radeon HD 7000, Intel iGPU 6th gen or higher). On Linux, Debian or Ubuntu distributions are supported, and the software also runs on Raspberry Pi 5.

What hardware is recommended for PIX Connect and Optris Connect?

PIX Connect and Optris Connect requires significantly more processing power due to its advanced analytical features. A modern multi-core CPU (Intel 10th gen or newer, or AMD Ryzen), 16 GB or more RAM, and a dedicated graphics card are strongly recommended for stable operation.

Can I connect multiple cameras simultaneously?

Yes, both software packages support multi-camera setups. For Optris Connect, multiple cameras connection requires less computational power as PIX Connect.

Is an internet connection required?

An active internet connection is required for software activation, downloading the calibration files and periodic updates. Offline operation is possible after initial activation, but updates and support services typically require connectivity.

Does Optris Connect support Linux?

Yes, Optris Connect runs on Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. It can also be installed on a Raspberry Pi 5 mini-controller, making it suitable for embedded and industrial applications.

Can I upgrade from Optris Connect to PIX Connect?

Optris Connect and PIX Connect are separate software packages with different use cases. Users requiring advanced analysis features can purchase PIX Connect as a standalone product.

Does Optris Connect support line scanning and merging functions?

Optris Connect provides a lightweight interface for core tasks including infrared visualization, measurement field configuration, alarm parameterization, and temperature‑time diagrams. Line scanning, merging, and process analysis are not within its scope. For such advanced functionality, PIX Connect is the designated solution.

How long will PIX Connect remain available and supported?

PIX Connect will remain available and fully supported as long as Optris Connect does not offer equivalent functionality for advanced analysis tasks. Both software packages will continue to be maintained in parallel.
