Xi 80/400/410 CM Infrared Camera
Instruction Manual

General Notes

1.1 Intended use
Thank you for choosing the optris® Xi spot finder infrared camera.
The optris Xi calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►8 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA – focal plane array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes. The radiometric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software PIX Connect.
The Xi is a precise instrument and contains an extremely sensitive infrared detector and a highquality lens.
The alignment of the camera to intensive energy sources (e.g. devices which emit laser radiation or reflections of such equipment) can cause an irreparable defect of the infrared detector. This is also valid if the camera is switched off.
Such kinds of damages are excluded from warranty.
Read the manual carefully before the initial start-up. The producer reserves the right to change the herein described specifications in case of technical advance of the product.

• Avoid abrupt changes of the ambient temperature.
• Avoid static electricity, arc welders, and induction heaters. Keep away from very strong EMF (electromagnetic fields).

   2.4 Optical specifications
   Make sure that the focus of thermal channel is adjusted correctly. The cameras have a motorized focus, which can be adjusted in the PIX Connect software (Menu View/ Windows/Distance or over the icon ). An adjustment to the left leads to the focus setting “near” and an adjustment to the right to the focus setting “infinite”.

The variety of different lenses offers the possibility to precisely measure objects in different distances. We offer lenses for close, standard distances and large distances. Please note that the Xi has a fixed optic. A change of optics is not possible. Different parameters are important if using infrared cameras. They display the connection between the distance of the measured object and the size of the pixel (Table 2).

• HFOV: Horizontal enlargement of the total measuring at object level
• VFOV: Vertical enlargement of the total measuring at object level
• IFOV: Size at the single pixel at object level
• DFOV: Diagonal dimension of the total measuring field at object level
• MFOV: Recommended, smallest measured object size of 3 x 3 pixel (Xi 400/410) and 2 x 2 pixel (Xi 80)

Geometric resolution for ideal temperature measurement
When designing optics for measuring IR cameras, special attention must be paid to the quality of detail contrast with which an object can be represented in the image. This is described by the modulation transfer function (MTF). Since in contrast to visual cameras, with IR cameras the thermal contrast is of more interest, this is used together with the slit response function (SRF). The result is determined by the number of pixels an object needs to fill to allow its temperature to be measured exactly. In high-performance infrared optical systems as used by Optris, this is 3×3 pixels or 2×2 pixels, with lower quality optical systems, in some circumstances as many as 10×10 pixels may be required, to receive 90 % of the energy. A high-performance camera lens also allows a larger measuring distance with the same number of pixels of the detector, or the precise temperature measurement of smaller structures and objects. The 3×3 pixel (2×2 pixels) geometry is described as MFOV (measurement field of view) – one single pixel on the object surface is described as IFOV (instantaneous field of view). The MFOV is comparable with the measuring spot definition with infrared thermometers.
The following tables with examples showing what spot sizes and pixel sizes will be reached in which distance. For individual configuration there are different lenses available. Wide angle lenses have a radial distortion due to their large opening angle; the software PIX Connect has an algorithm which corrects this distortion. As an alternative to the tables below, the optics calculator can also be used on the optris or via the Optris calculator – Apps. The app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store (see QR code).

3.2 Accessories
3.2.1 Air purge laminar
The lens must be kept clean at all times from dust, smoke, fumes and other contaminants in order to avoid reading errors. These effects can be reduced by using an air purge. (Part-No.: ACXIAPL)

• Make sure to use oil-free, technically clean air, only.
• The needed amount of air (approx. 2…10 l/min.) depends on the application and the installation conditions on-site.
• The laminar air purge has a Si-protective window. Typical transmission value: 0.82 (deviations possible), replacement window available under the Part-No.: ACXIAPLPWSI
• The corresponding mounting bracket (Part-No.: ACXIAPLAB) is mandatory.
• Material: Anodized aluminum, weight: 218 g / 494 g with mounting bracket

3.2.3 Shutter
To protect the optics of the camera, an optional shutter (closing mechanism) can be purchased. It is equipped with a servomotor that can open and close a mechanical lock as needed. The special feature of the shutter is not only the opening and closing, but also the complete seal in the closed state. This ensures that the shutter is completely closed and no dirt can get on the optics.

• The shutter has a 100 ms fast-closing mode.
• Complete seal when closed.
• Includes a control box for connections.
• Shutter can be used in combination with Process Interface (PIF).
• The corresponding mounting bracket (Part-No.: ACXIAPLAB) is mandatory.
• Material: Stainless steel
• Weight: 550 g / 826 g Shutter with mounting bracket
• When using more than one shutter and the opening / closing of the shutter should be simultaneously, the switch S4 on one control box must be set to mA and the others to mV (see Figure 16).
• Ambient temperature: 0…60 °C (TAmb camera: 0…50 °C); with water cooled housing up to 250 °C

3.2.4 Combination of air purge, water cooling and shutter
It is possible to combine all three components (air purge, water cooling and shutter) with each other. It should be noted that there are differences between the Xi 80 and Xi 400/410. Various mounting kits (ACXIxxxWAKx) are available in combination with water cooling. The mounting bracket (ACXIAPLAB) is always required for air purge and shutter. For water cooling (ACXIW), the mounting bracket is included and does not have to be ordered separately.

   4.1 Process interface
   4.1.1 Process interface Xi 80/410
   The Xi 80/410 is equipped with an integrated process interface (cable with terminal block included in scope of supply), which can be programmed via the software as a direct analog input (AI), as a direct analog output (AO) in order to control the process or as an RS485 interface1). The signal level is 0-10 V for AI and 0/4-20 mA for AO.

The process interface can be activated via the software choosing the following options:

Analog Input (AI):| Emissivity, ambient temperature, reference temperature, uncommitted value, flag control, triggered recording, triggered snapshots, triggered line-scanner, triggered event grabber, reset peak-/valley-hold, switch temperature range
---|---
Analog Output (AO):| Main measure area, measure area, internal temperature, flag status, recording status, line scan status, alarm, frame sync, fail-safe, external communication

   In addition to the above direct in- and outputs, the Xi 80/410 has an RS485 interface. This interface can be used to control the external industrial PIF.
   4.1.2 Process interface Xi 400
   The process interface (electronics within cable as well as industrial interface) must be powered separately (5-24 VDC). Before switching on the power the PIF cable must be connected to the camera.
   The Xi is equipped with a process interface (cable with integrated electronics and terminal block), which can be programmed via the software as an Analog Input (AI) and Digital Input (DI) in order to control the camera or as an Analog Output (AO) in order to control the process. The signal level is always 0-10 V (DI = 24 V).

The process interface can be activated via the software choosing the following options:

   1)The AI is designed for max. 24 V, the voltage level above 10 V is not interpreted
   4.1.3 PIN allocation Xi 80/410
   

4.1.4 PIN allocation Xi 400

If the process interface of the camera is directly connected to external hardware1) (without using the supplied PIF cable) an activation of the field „Support proprietary PIF cable” in the menu Tools/ Configuration/ Device (PIF) in the PIX Connect software is necessary.

Consider that the input of the PIF is not protected if there is a direct PIF connection! A voltage > 3 V on the INT pin will destroy the device!

1. We recommend using only a switching contact between INT and DGND as external hardware (button, relay).
   4.1.5 Industrial Process Interface for Xi 80/410 (optional)
   For use in industrial environment the industrial process interface with 500 V ACRMS isolation voltage between Xi and process is available (connection box with IP65, 5 m, 10 m or 20 m standard or high temperature cable for camera connection, terminal for process integration). [►Appendix F – Wiring diagrams PIF] Pin assignment PIF cable (industrial process interface)
   

The process interface can be activated via the software choosing the following options:

Analog Input (AI):| Emissivity, ambient temperature, reference temperature, uncommitted value, flag control, triggered recording, triggered snapshots, triggered line-scanner, triggered event grabber, reset peak-/valley-hold, switch temperature range
---|---
Analog Output (AO):| Main measure area, measure area, internal temperature, flag status, recording status, line scan status, alarm, frame sync, fail-safe, external communication, autonomous status

1. depending on supply voltage; for 0-10 V on the AO the PIF has to be powered with min. 12 V.
2. the AI is designed for max. 24 V, the voltage level above 10 V is not interpreted
   The industrial PIF has a maximum of 3 analog outputs. To use more outputs, you can cascade up to three PIFs, allowing you to use up to 9 analog or alarm outputs in total.

Each stackable industrial PIF must have its own RS485 address. The address must be set directly on the board. For the PIF which is the furthest away the 120R switch (TERM. – Termination) has to be set.
The RS485 interface is defined for a length of 500 m.
The process interface has an integrated fail-safe mode. This allows to control conditions like interruption of cables, shut-down of the software etc. and to give out these conditions as an alarm. The time constant of the fail-safe is 1.5 seconds.

4.3 USB cable extension for Xi 400
The maximum USB cable length is 20 m. For greater distances between Xi 400 and computer or for standalone solutions the optional USB Server Gigabit (Part No.: ACPIUSBSGB) is provided:

Functions

5.1 Ethernet Xi 80/410
The Xi 80/410 has a direct Ethernet interface. The advantage is cable lengths of up to 100 m. For example, a switch can be used to extend the distances. The associated Ethernet cable (Order No.: ACXIETCBx) must be ordered separately. Ethernet is supported from software version Rel. 3.2.3020.0 and firmware 3008.
Using the Ethernet connection, the device must be supplied with power. This can be done either via:

• the internal PIF cable via the terminal block (5-30 V)
• the stackable PIF (5-24 V, Order No.: ACXIPIFCBx)
• PoE (Power over Ethernet)

For the PoE variant, a PoE adapter (Order No.: ACXIETPOECB1) and a PoE injector (Order No.: ACPIPOE) or PoE switch (e.g. Netgear GS510TLP) are also required.

5.1.1 Ethernet setup (Point-to-Point-Connection)
After connecting the Ethernet cable to the camera and the PC, the first thing you need to do is to make the network settings on the PC.
The devices are delivered with the following factory settings:

• IP address camera: 192.168.0.101
• IP address PC: 192.168.0.100
• Port number: 50101

To do this, go to Control Panel and open the Network and Sharing Center. Go on LAN connection.

Click on Properties.

Mark Internet protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and go to Properties again

In the register card General enable the checkbox Use the following IP address. Now enter a user defined IP address for your PC (192.168.0.100). This must be identical to the address set in the PIX Connect software.

Then close all windows with OK. The network settings on the PC are complete.
Now start the PIX Connect software and activate the Ethernet function. To do this, go to the menu Devices and Enable Ethernet.

When a Windows Firewall window appears make sure to select allow all three network parts (domain, private, public) in order to allow the communication with the device.

The approval of programs can also be activated afterwards in the Windows Firewall settings of the PC (under Windows Firewall and Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall).
The device is now ready for the Ethernet connection and is listed in the menu under Devices. The camera is identified by a network icon and the network address and port number. Select the device. A connection to the device is established and the temperature measurement can begin.
To change the address settings, go to Devices and Ethernet settings (TCP/IP). The address for the device is assigned under Device address. This must have a different address (last block) to the other participant (e.g., PC) (Send to address (local computer)). It is important that the network part (first three blocks) must be identical for both addresses. The address range of the individual blocks can be between 0 and 255.

Additionally, a separate port number must be configured. The selected number can be between 1 and 65535.
If several cameras with different port numbers are connected and a specific camera is to be communicated with, the corresponding camera can be determined via Listen on port number.
The port range used should be between 49152 … 65535. When using other ports, it could be that they are already reserved or assigned.
When using multiple Xi 80/410 cameras in a network, the data rate must be considered:
➢ Switch with 100 Mbps: approx. 17 devices (Xi 80), approx. 2 devices (Xi 410 with 25 Hz)
➢ Switch with 1000 Mbps: approx. 170 devices (Xi 80), approx. 26 devices (Xi 410 with 25 Hz)
In addition to the data rate also make sure the power performance of the PC is high enough. Each device used requires its own instance.
5.2 Autonomous operation Xi 80/410
A special feature of the Xi 80/410 is the autonomous operation. There is no need for a permanent connection to the PIX Connect software. Only a few settings must be set in advance in the software.
To do this, connect the PIF and Ethernet or USB cables to the device. Then connect the Xi to your PC and start the PIX Connect software (see 7 Software PIX Connect).
Position and focus (see 2.4 Optical specifications) the camera so that your object to be measured is perfectly visible in the image. First define the desired measurement area with the corresponding mode you want to output.
Now go to the configuration menu on Device (PIF). There you first select the PIF type (in this case: Internal PIF). Then select under Analog Outputs (AO) the function that is to be output autonomously. Then press Setup, make your settings, and make sure that the checkbox is set to using autonomously by device. By pressing the OK button an @ sign can be found in the configuration menu Devices (PIF), which indicates the autonomous operation.

Only for Xi 410
When using the Xi 410 camera, an important additional setting must be made for autonomous operation. When all the configurations have been made, it is important to write them to the device. This is done in the menu under Devices and Set configuration to device.
If the device is reconnected to a PC after autonomous operation and the settings are to be transferred from the device to the software, this is done in the menu under Devices and Get configuration from device.

An arrow marked in red means that the configuration is different between the camera and the software. As soon as the configuration is loaded into the device, the arrow appears blue .
In general, these are all the settings that must be set in the PIX Connect software in order to operate the device autonomously. You can now close the software and then disconnect the Ethernet or USB cable. To start the device autonomously, a 5-30 V power supply must be connected to the terminal block. Now the used input/output must be connected. The resulting value can be displayed for example on a multimeter (see Figure 40).

• Autonomous operation also works via the industrial/stackable PIF of the Xi 80. The device is powered by the power supply of the PIF.

• Up to 9 measure areas (for Xi 80 with firmware 3013 or higher) and up to 3 measure areas (Xi 410) can be output autonomously. The use of three stackable PIFs is required. Three analog outputs are possible per stackable PIF. The response time is 20 ms for Xi 80 and 640 ms for Xi 410.
  Note: Several measuring areas can be combined into one measuring area via a so-called super area.

• Autonomous mode cannot be set using the Main measure area function (configuration menuDevice (PIF)). To output a measure area autonomously, the function Measure area must be used.

5.2.1 Hot- / Coldspot function in autonomous operation
The setting for a hot- or coldspot in autonomous mode differs from the general procedure. Marking a measure area as hot- or coldspot does not work. Instead, a user defined rectangle must be selected under the tab measure areas of the configuration dialog. In addition, under Mode, you must set whether the maximum (for hotspot) or minimum (for coldspot) should be output.

For a hot- or coldspot output in the full field of view of the camera, the user defined rectangle must also fill out this size.
Note: Predefined Layout in the software available under Tools and Layouts: Xi 80 Hot spot autonomous or Xi 410 Hot spot autonomous.

5.3 Use of Shutter
The shutter system is supplied with a control box (for pin assignment, see also Figure 16). The servo motor of the shutter is connected to this control box. There are several ways to operate the control box. For all listed options, an input signal (IN 1) must be connected. This input signal can, for example, come from a PLC, a light barrier or a sensor. This signal opens and closes the shutter. A second input signal (IN 3) can be used to realize a fast-closing mode. The closing time in this mode is only 100 ms.

By using the process interface (PIF), the input signal to the software can be passed on and used as a trigger signal in the software. For example, an automatic recording can take place when the shutter is opened.
The process interface cable supplied with the cameras can be connected directly to the control box (upper terminal block: CAMERA INTERFACE/PIF). Alternatively, the separately obtained industrial or stackable PIF can also be connected to the control box (if several outputs and inputs are used). In this case, the outputs and inputs used (e.g. AO from control box with AO from PIF) must be connected with each other.
When using more than one shutter and the opening/closing of the shutter should be simultaneously, the switch S4 on one control box must be set to mA and the others to mV (see Figure 43).

5.3.1 Settings in PIX Connect Software
After the hardware installation (connection control box shutter and PIF) the following settings can be made in the software:

• Automatic Recording: By opening the shutter through input signal IN 1, an automatic recording can be started. For this, the AI must be configured to Triggered Recording in the software in the configuration menu Device (PIF).
• Close shutter after recording/line scan: When the recording is finished, the shutter can be closed by an analog signal. To do this, in the software in the configuration menu Device (PIF) of the AO must be configured for Recording Status. If the shutter is to be closed after a line scan, Line scan status must be selected.

IRmobile App

The imagers have a direct connection to an Android smartphone or tablet. All you must do is download the IRmobile app for free in the Google Play Store. This can also be done via the QR code. An IRmobile app connector is recommended for connection to the device (Xi 80/410: Part-No.: ACXI80IACM (micro-USB) or ACXI80IACC (USB-C), Xi 400: PartNo.: ACPIIACM (micro-USB) or ACPIIACC (USB-C).

Basics of Infrared Thermometry

Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation.
Searching for new optical material William Herschel by chance found the infrared radiation in 1800.

He blackened the peak of a sensitive mercury thermometer. This thermometer, a glass prism that led sun rays onto a table made his measuring arrangement. With this, he tested the heating of different colors of the spectrum. Slowly moving the peak of the blackened thermometer through the colors of the spectrum, he noticed the increasing temperature from violet to red. The temperature rose even more in the area behind the red end of the spectrum. Finally he found the maximum temperature far behind the red area.
Nowadays this area is called “infrared wavelength area”.

Figure 47: The electromagnetic spectrum and the area used for temperature measurement

For the measurement of “thermal radiation” infrared thermometry uses a wave- length ranging between 1 µm and 20 µm. The intensity of the emitted radiation depends on the material. This material contingent constant is described with the help of the emissivity which is a known value for most materials ( ►9 Emissivity ).
Infrared thermometers are optoelectronic sensors. They calculate the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The most important feature of infrared thermometers is that they enable the user to measure objects contactless. Consequently, these products help to measure the temperature of inaccessible or moving objects without difficulties.

Infrared thermometers basically consist of the following components:

• Lens
• Spectral filter
• Detector
• Electronics (amplifier/ linearization/ signal processing)

The specifications of the lens decisively determine the optical path of the infrared thermometer, which is characterized by the ratio Distance to Spot size. The spectral filter selects the wavelength range, which is relevant for the temperature measurement. The detector in cooperation with the processing electronics transforms the emitted infrared radiation into electrical signals.
The advantages of non-contact thermometry are clear – it supports:

• temperature measurements of moving or overheated objects and of objects in hazardous surroundings
• very fast response and exposure times
• measurement without inter-reaction, no influence on the
• measuring object
• non-destructive measurement
• long lasting measurement, no mechanical wear

Emissivity

9.1 Definition
The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy. It can range between 0 and 100 %. A “blackbody” is the ideal radiation source with an emissivity of 1.0 whereas a mirror shows an emissivity of 0.1.

I IR radiation
ε Emission
ρ Reflection
τ Transmission

Figure 51: Spectral emissivity of several materials: 1 Enamel, 2 Plaster, 3 Concrete, 4 Chamotte

If the emissivity chosen is too high, the infrared thermometer may display a temperature value which is much lower than the real temperature – assuming the measuring object is warmer than its surroundings. A low emissivity (reflective surfaces) carries the risk of inaccurate measuring results by interfering infrared radiation emitted by background objects (flames, heating systems, chamottes). To minimize measuring errors in such cases, the handling should be performed very carefully, and the unit should be protected against reflecting radiation sources.

9.2 Determination of unknown emissivity

• First determine the actual temperature of the measuring object with a thermocouple or contact sensor. Second, measure the temperature with the infrared thermometer and modify the emissivity until the displayed result corresponds to the actual temperature.
• If you monitor temperatures of up to 380 °C you may place a special plastic sticker (emissivity dots – Part No.: ACLSED) onto the measuring object, which covers it completely.
• Set the emissivity to 0.95 and take the temperature of the sticker. Afterwards, determine the temperature of the adjacent area on the measuring object and adjust the emissivity according to the value of the temperature of the sticker.
• Cove a part of the surface of the measuring object with a black, flat paint with an emissivity of 0.98. Adjust the emissivity of your infrared thermometer to 0.98 and take the temperature of the colored surface. Afterwards, determine the temperature of a directly adjacent area and modify the emissivity until the measured value corresponds to the temperature of the colored surface. CAUTION: On all three methods the object temperature must be different from ambient temperature.

9.3 Characteristic emissivity
In case none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the emissivity table ► Appendix A and Appendix B.
These are average values, only. The actual emissivity of a material depends on the following factors:

• temperature
• measuring angle
• geometry of the surface
• thickness of the material
• constitution of the surface (polished, oxidized, rough, sandblast)
• spectral range of the measurement
• transmissivity (e.g. with thin films) Figure 54: Adjustment of the emissivity in the software PIX Connect (menu Tools/ Configuration/ Device)

Appendix C – Quick start for serial communication

Introduction
One special feature of the PIX Connect software contains the possibility to communicate via a serial COMPort interface. This can be a physical COM-Port or a virtual COM-Port (VCP). It must be available on the computer where the PIX connect software is installed.
Setup of the interface

1. Open the Options dialog and enter the tab “Extended Communication” to enable the software for the serial communication.

2. Select the mode “COM-Port” and choose the appropriate port.

3. Select the baud rate that matches the baud rate of the other communication device. The other interface parameters are 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit (8N1).
   These parameters are used in many other communication devices too. The other station must support 8 bit data.

4. Connect the computer with the communication device. If this is a computer too, use a null modem cable.

Command list
The command list is provided on the USB stick and in the PIX Connect software (Help → SDK). Every command must expire with CR/LF (0x0D, 0x0A).
RS485 for Xi 80 and Xi 410
The Xi 80 and Xi 410 cameras support a direct RS485 connection. RS485 interface is designed for highspeed serial data transmission over long distances and as a bidirectional bus system with up to 32 participants. An RS485 bus can be set up as a 2-wire as well as a 4-wire system. For the Xi 80/410 cameras, it is designed for a 2-wire system. A maximum cable length of 500 meters can be realized. At least a master and slave is necessary for communication. The master can be a PLC system and the slave is the camera.
RS485 is supported for Xi 80 cameras which have the hardware version 3001, firmware 3023 and at least the serial number which starts with 1812xxxx. For the Xi 410 it is working for all cameras starting at firmware version 3815. Here it is important that the communication is just working via Ethernet connection or in autonomous mode, but not with USB.
The connection for RS485 can be done directly on the terminal block (A and B) which is provided in the scope of supply of the camera.
Command list
The command list and more information can be found on the supplied USB stick under Documentation and Manuals (Serial Communication Description-RS485-xxxx- xx-x). Every command must expire with CR/LF (0x0D, 0x0A).

Appendix D – Interprocess Communication (IPC)

The description of the initialization procedure as well as the necessary command list is provided on the USB stick and in the PIX Connect software (Help → SDK).
2 SDK packages are available (included on USB stick):

1. Connect SDK: requires the PIX Connect software
2. Direct SDK: no PIX Connect software required, supports Linux and Windows

The communication to the process imager device is handled by the PIX Connect software (Imager.exe) only. A dynamic link library (ImagerIPC2.dll) provides 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 ImagerIPC2.dll are designed for Windows 7/ 8/ 10 only. The application must support call-back functions and polling mode.
The ImagerIPC2.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication, retrieving data and setting some control parameters.
The main difference to the former Version 1 (ImagerIPC.dll) is the support of more than one Optris Xi via multiple instances of Optris PIX Connect.

Appendix E – PIX Connect Resource Translator

A detailed tutorial is provided on the USB stick.
PIX Connect is a .Net Application. Therefore, it is ready for localization. Localization as a Microsoft idiom means a complete adaption of resources to a given culture. Learn more about the internationalization topics consult Microsoft’s developer documentation on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb688096.aspx.
If desired the localization process can be illustrated in detail. Also, the resizing of buttons or other visible resources and the support of right-to- left-languages are supported. Experts who have the appropriate tools should handle it. Nevertheless, we have developed the small tool “Resource Translator” to make the translation of the resources of the PIX Connect application possible for everybody.
This tool helps to translate any visible text within the PIX Connect application.
