This is the description of the TCP/IP protocol for the Temperature IR Bricklet. General information and technical specifications for the Temperature IR Bricklet are summarized in its hardware description.
A general description of the TCP/IP protocol structure can be found here.

Request: | empty payload |

Returns the ambient temperature of the sensor. The value has a range of -400 to 1250 and is given in °C/10, e.g. a value of 423 means that an ambient temperature of 42.3 °C is measured.
If you want to get the ambient temperature periodically, it is recommended to use the callback CALLBACK_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE and set the period with set_ambient_temperature_callback_period.

Returns the object temperature of the sensor, i.e. the temperature of the surface of the object the sensor is aimed at. The value has a range of -700 to 3800 and is given in °C/10, e.g. a value of 3001 means that a temperature of 300.1 °C is measured on the surface of the object.
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 CALLBACK_OBJECT_TEMPERATURE and set the period with set_object_temperature_callback_period.

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 default emissivity is 1.0 (value of 65535) and the minimum emissivity the sensor can handle is 0.1 (value of 6553).

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' or 'd'.
The device identifier numbers can be found here.

Sets the period in ms with which the CALLBACK_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.
CALLBACK_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE is only triggered if the temperature has changed since the last triggering.
The default value is 0.

Sets the period in ms with which the CALLBACK_OBJECT_TEMPERATURE callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.
CALLBACK_OBJECT_TEMPERATURE is only triggered if the temperature has changed since the last triggering.
The default value is 0.

Sets the thresholds for the CALLBACK_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_REACHED callback.
The following options are possible:
Option | Description |
---|---|
'x' | Callback is turned off |
'o' | Callback is triggered when the ambient temperature is outside the min and max values |
'i' | Callback is triggered when the ambient temperature is inside the min and max values |
'<' | Callback is triggered when the ambient temperature is smaller than the min value (max is ignored) |
'>' | Callback is triggered when the ambient temperature is greater than the min value (max is ignored) |
The default value is ('x', 0, 0).
