Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP006
Hi, I'm new with the IR contactless sensors.
From this YouTube demo, it visualizes the Field of View (FOV).
I'm planning to create a custom(FR-4, 1.6mm thick (near 63 mils), 2 layered PCB that uses TMP007. The Through-Hole Mounting Method was the thing I needed.
This is my situation: The center of the via is aligned with a container(measured object)'s center.
- The center of the via is aligned with a container(measured object)'s center.
- This container is partitioned into 2 parts (in half); A and B.
- This container is made of metal and it is black and not polished.
- The distance between the protection film and the container is 10mm.
- For convenience, let's say that the FOV is 20.21°.
After the calibration values are configured, suppose I turned on two machines that
- provide 105°C water continuously to section A
- provide 8°C water continuously to section B
Just like the visualization demo, I want to check whether a single TMP007 can get the temperature differences.
My questions are;
0) If I use one TMP007 like that, can it distinguish that A is hotter than B when mounted as the Through-Hole method?
1) If it is possible, what is the resolution?
If the FOV is 20.21°, can it distinguish temperatures per 1° or less?
Or does this depends on what protection film I use?
2)
How is the FOV angle calculated?
atan(16 / 60) = 14.931°
What math is used to calculate 21.13°?
