Please find information directly from FLIR here: http://www.flir.com/cvs/cores/knowledgebase/index.cfm?CFTREEITEMKEY=1136&view=35726
In short:
Tau2 Cores: ~12ms
Boson: ~8ms
The thermal time constant of Tau2 and Quark2 is estimated to be about 12 milliseconds. For the Tau2 640, the time constant has been measured by an agency of the U.S. government to be about 10 milliseconds.
Boson's thermal time constant is about 8 milliseconds.
NOTE: The time constant is not a specified, controlled, tested, or reported parameter, and may vary slightly from camera to camera.
