Command Structure¶

The common options of the call and dispatch commands are documented here. The specific command structure is shown below.

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The call command is used to call a function of the Temperature IR Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific call command and exits
• --list-functions shows a list of known functions of the Temperature IR Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge dispatch temperature-ir-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the Temperature IR Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific dispatch command and exits
• --list-callbacks shows a list of known callbacks of the Temperature IR Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The <function> to be called can take different options depending of its kind. All functions can take the following options:

• --help shows help for the specific function and exits

Getter functions can take the following options:

• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Setter functions can take the following options:

• --expect-response requests response and waits for it

The --expect-response option for setter functions allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of setters as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this option is not given for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

tinkerforge dispatch temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> <callback> [<option>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The <callback> to be dispatched can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific callback and exits
• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Basic Functions¶

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> get-ambient-temperature¶

Output:	temperature – Type: Int, 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 ambient-temperature callback and set the period with set-ambient-temperature-callback-period.

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> get-object-temperature¶

Output:	temperature – Type: Int, 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 object-temperature callback and set the period with set-object-temperature-callback-period.

Advanced Functions¶

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> set-emissivity <emissivity>¶

Parameters:	<emissivity> – Type: Int, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1
Output:	no output

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.

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> get-emissivity¶

Output:	emissivity – Type: Int, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1

Returns the emissivity as set by set-emissivity.

tinkerforge call temperature-ir-bricklet <uid> get-identity¶

Output:

uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connected-uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: Char, Range: [a to h, z] hardware-version – Type: Int Array, Length: 3 0: major – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] firmware-version – Type: Int Array, Length: 3 0: major – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] device-identifier – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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.
