5C The Manual Calibration Mode
The MlX90215 device module has two main user interfaces, manual and auto-calibration. Shown below is the
manual calibration interface. It can be accessed by selecting “manual” under the view menu or by clicking the
manual icon on the toolbar. The manual calibration mode gives the user control over all the programmable
features of the MLX90215. The user can adjust any of the parameters, load them into the device, and then
make measurements. The manual mode also has tools to permanently program the sensor (zap), read back
sensor parameters, and make relative measurements. This mode is most effective for engineering develop-
ment and analysis. By using the manual calibration mode the user can quickly develop a good understanding
of MLX90215 and its available features.
The Manual calibration interface has five basic sections. The sections are highlighted and listed below. Within
the sections are adjustable parameters, displays, and special functions. The adjustable parameters are indi-
cated by a white background. The displays are shown as gray indented boxes. The special functions are rep-
resented by raised buttons.
