TCP/IP - Temperature IR Bricklet¶

Basic Functions¶

BrickletTemperatureIR.get_ambient_temperature¶

Function ID:	1
Request:	empty payload
Response:	temperature – Type: int16, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-400 to 1250]

Returns the ambient temperature of the sensor.

If you want to get the ambient temperature periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE callback and set the period with set_ambient_temperature_callback_period.

BrickletTemperatureIR.get_object_temperature¶

Function ID:	2
Request:	empty payload
Response:	temperature – Type: int16, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-700 to 3800]

Returns the object temperature of the sensor, i.e. the temperature of the surface of the object the sensor is aimed at.

The temperature of different materials is dependent on their emissivity. The emissivity of the material can be set with set_emissivity.

If you want to get the object temperature periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_OBJECT_TEMPERATURE callback and set the period with set_object_temperature_callback_period.

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletTemperatureIR.set_emissivity¶

Function ID:	3
Request:	emissivity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1
Response:	no response

Sets the emissivity that is used to calculate the surface temperature as returned by get_object_temperature.

The emissivity is usually given as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. A list of emissivities of different materials can be found here.

The parameter of set_emissivity has to be given with a factor of 65535 (16-bit). For example: An emissivity of 0.1 can be set with the value 6553, an emissivity of 0.5 with the value 32767 and so on.

Note

If you need a precise measurement for the object temperature, it is absolutely crucial that you also provide a precise emissivity.

The emissivity is stored in non-volatile memory and will still be used after a restart or power cycle of the Bricklet.

BrickletTemperatureIR.get_emissivity¶

Function ID:	4
Request:	empty payload
Response:	emissivity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1

Returns the emissivity as set by set_emissivity.

BrickletTemperatureIR.get_identity¶

Function ID:	255

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here.
